King Tutankhamun ascended the throne of Egypt at the ripe age of NINE. His "domestic policy" was dictated by a high priest, Ay, and very likely the commander of the army, General Horemheb. The only item of significance that I'm aware of was the restoration of the polytheistic religion of previous times, and I doubt that was his idea.

Tut's father was responsible for changing the state religion to a monotheistic one, worshipping the Sun, or "Aten" (disk) as the one and only god. He moved the religious capital to Amarna, away from Thebes and the traditional ruling priests. When Tut was born, he was named Tutankhaten by his father, in honor of the Sun-disk.

His father was believed to have been poisoned. Tutankhaten succeeded him. Ay convinced him to change his name to Tutankhamun, to restore the old polytheistic religion and honor Amun-Ra, the Sun-god. Amarna was abandoned. Thebes was returned to its former religious importance. Ay and Horemheb controlled the throne (and the empire) until Tut's mysterious death at the age of nineteen.
