King Tutankhamun

Tutankhamun married his sister because they are royal and they want to keep their blood pure by marrying one of their family members. If there are a different royal family then they can marry the other family member so that the blood still stays pure. That's what my teacher said

Yes, Howard Carter explored several other tombs during his archaeological career, particularly in the Valley of the Kings. Before his famous discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb in 1922, he worked on the tomb of Amenhotep II and participated in excavations of other royal tombs. His extensive experience and expertise in Egyptology contributed significantly to his later success with Tutankhamun's burial site.

The Egyptian Museum of Antiquities in Cairo is the largest museum in the African nation and home to statues, artwork and treasures from Egypt's most famous ancient leader, King Tutankhamen. This destination is a great addition to any vacation for those planning to tour Eygpt because it offers a chance to see some of the relics from Tutankhamen's tomb, which was one of the greatest excavation projects of the 1900s.

it was made from gold but it had to go through a process but that imma keep to ma self

Tutankhamun had two daughters. Both were still born and so he effectively had no descendants.

The reason why King Tutankhamen is considered so important is because his tomb was not robbed of its treasures like many other Egyptian tombs were.

Other than that he was NT so important. He did move the capital back to Thebes and restored the old religion(i think it was the priests who did this, not Tut). He was the successor of Akhenaton and eventually the head of the Egyptian army overthrew the dynasty and created a new one.

He also gives us a glimpse into history's past and now scientists have more questions to answer and more information to find out and tell us.

Until the intricacies of time travel are perfected, there is no way to answer this question.

His personality probably was but it is hard to say as he is over 3000 years old.

we'll i had a cup of tea with him last morning and i must say...he was a pretty descent fellow

ughhh, i have no idea. HELP!

The death mask of Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun is made of gold inlaid with colored glass and semiprecious stone. The mask comes from the innermost mummy case in the pharaoh's tomb, and stands 54 cm (21 in) high and weighs around 11kg.

The pharaoh is portrayed in a classical manner, with a ceremonial beard, a broad collar formed of twelve concentric rows consisting of inlays of turquoise, lapis lazuli, cornelian and amazonite. The traditional nemes head-dress has yellow stripes of solid gold broken by bands of glass paste, coloured dark blue. On the forehead of the mask are a royal uraeus and a vulture's head, symbols of the two tutelary deities of Lower and Upper Egypt: Wadjet and Nekhbet. Above his perfect golden cheeks, Tutankhamen has blue petals of lapis lazuli in imitation of the kohl make-up he would have worn in life.

King Solomon, also known as Jedediah, was a king of Israel and son of David (according to sources such as the Qur'an and the Book of the Kings). His reign is generally considered to have lasted from around 970 to about 931 BC.

At one time the popular theory was that he was murdered, but it's now generally believed that he died as the result of either malaria or infection from a broken leg (it's also possible that both causes contributed).

I think what you are referring to is the reign of king Tutankhamen of ancient Egypt he is described as being one of the most wealthy pharaohs that we know about he mysteriously died at a young age. scientists think from a infected broken leg.

1 most important fact about king Tutankhamen is that he was the most famous of all the pharaohs of ancient Egypt

The most important facts about King Tutankhaten / amon's life are:

1. He became Pharaoh at 9 years old.

2. He was the second Pharaoh after the "Heretic" Akhenaten / Amenophis IV.

3. He moved the capital of Egypt back to Thebes from Amarna.

4. He returned Egypt to a Polytheistic state after the Heritic Akhenaten declared all would worship the "One God", Aten: Monothiestic.

5. He reopened the temples Akhenaten closed.

6. He married Ankhesenpa'aten / Ankhesenamon, daughter of Akhenaten and Nefertiti.

7. DNA has indicated he was the son of Ankhenaten, if the mummy they tested IS the Heretic.

8. Tutankhamon is famous because his tomb was found with the majority of burial items intact and in situ; before that he was barely a footnote on the list of Pharaohs.

9. He proves that interbreeding among the Royals is not a good idea.

I think they believed in it because Egyptians back then were very superstitious and religious. They believed in Egyptian gods and goddesses that we do not think exist, so they might believe in things in which we don't think exist. I am not very knowledgeable about this sort of thing, so please correct me if I'm wrong xD

The fields of forensic criminology and forensic anthropology, his characteristics are believed to indicate a Negroid person. You can see the reconstruction of Tutankhamun's face on http://www.sciencemuseum.org.uk/antenna/tutankhamun/

He was an skiny young guy

well it was thought in the 20's and 30's that the supposed "Curse" had scared robbers away. However tutankhamun's tomb had been robbed; foot prints were found in the tunnel's dust. They assume these were priests who had known Tutankhamun because they go straight to the most valuable rooms. A rag containing gold rings was on the floor. As it turns out approximately 60% of treasures & jewels had been taken. Leaving today with only 40% left.

Hope this helps...

King Tuts tomb is in the Valley of the Kings in Egypt.

1922

monarchy...communism..take ur pic

^Wow... just wow. Ok, here's the correct answer, but very brief. It was a theocracy, but a lot more complicated than "ruled by their religion." The pharaoh was seen as a demi-god, a child of the gods, and as such he not only served as head of the government AND the military, but also as chief priest of the land. He would lead daily offerings, ceremonies, etc. You also have to take into account the enormous power priests had, with opportunities to education and knowledge of how to keep the land from being swallowed up by the desert. A tip: don't waste your time believing the stories of slaves building the pyramids, etc. That's been proven false. They had very structured worker guilds. Workers were valued enough to receive burials, which is why the idea of slave labor should be left out (not completely ruled out, but on the scale we were told young)

It all stacked up. It was all circumstantial evidence as such, but frequently that is all that investigators of ancient mysteries have to go on. And yet, the most recent findings on the death of King Tut (Tutankhamun) seem to conclusively indicate that he died of natural causes, rather than being murdered. Specifically, the latest report is that he died of gangrene caused by a broken leg. There was more than a little reason to believe that King Tut may have been murdered. The two principal suspects, Aye who succeeded him as king, and General Horemhab who in turn succeeded Aye to the throne, both appear to have been powerful men who, in effect, ruled Egypt while King Tut was a child. It would not be unreasonable at all to believe that, as King Tut grew into a young man, the two elder men would have resented losing much of their power. Furthermore, at the time of his death, King Tut was certainly old enough to have sired an heir to the throne himself, which would have at least technically eliminated Aye and Horemhab from ever ascending the throne. It is also noteworthy that the young King Tut was greatly loved in ancient Egypt for restoring the Amun priesthood after the death of his presumed heretic father, Akhenaten. However, this was almost certainly the work of Aye and General Horemhab, who could have even resented Tut receiving all the glory of their work. Finally, there was the issue of King Tut's widow, Ankhespaton, who was apparently forced to marry Aye after King Tut's death. Only a short time later, she disappeared from the annals of history, leading to speculation that she too might have been murdered. These circumstances all contribute to an ancient mystery, and much intrigue, a situation that was not completely uncommon in the Egyptian royal court. Attempts had, and would be made to murder pharaohs, a few of which were successful. Usually, these seem to have been plots within the harem with the goal of elevating one wife's son to the throne over another's. Now we are told, in absolute terms, that King Tut died by natural causes. However, lets take a little closer look. One of the most interesting aspects of Egyptology is that various scholars very frequently present their interpretation of events as absolute, and particularly in books or releases to the general public, neglect to reveal opposing views. This occurs all the time, frequently with one expert asserting absolutely one conclusion, while another asserting absolutely a completely different conclusion. For example, debates continue to rage over who was actually King Menes, the founder of the 1st ancient Egyptian Dynasty, with some scholars stating unequivocally that it was Aha, with others still believing it to have been Narmer. In the case of King Tut, one must first remember that his mummy is not in very good condition today. When Carter discovered it, his team basically dismantled the corpse while looking for amulets and other jewelry. Furthermore, many of its parts present at the original examination by Carter are now missing, and both skin and bones were broken in numerous places, supposedly also by the Carter team. Dr. Zahi Hawass, the Director of the Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities (SCA), makes some interesting comments about the most recent findings on King Tut. Though he seems to mostly be in agreement with these findings, he states, for example, that, "...some (not all) team members interpreted a fracture in the left thighbone as evidence for the possibility that Tutankhamun broke his leg badly just before he died". He goes on to explain that: "The team has noted a fracture of the left lower femur (thighbone), at the level of the epiphyseal plate. This fracture appears different from the many breaks caused by Carter's team: it has ragged rather than sharp edges, and there are two layers of embalming material present inside. Part of the team believes that the embalming material indicates that this can only have occurred during life or during the embalming process, and cannot have been caused by Carter's team. They note that this type of fracture, unlike most of the others, is possible in young men in their late teens, and argue that it is most likely that this happened during life. There is no obvious evidence for healing (although there may be some present, and masked by the embalming material). Since the associated skin wound would still have been open, this fracture would have had to occur a short time, days at the most, before death. Carter's team had noted that the patella (kneecap) on this leg was loose (now it is completely separated, and has in fact, been wrapped with the left hand), possibly suggesting further damage to this area of the body. The part of the team that subscribes to this theory also notes a fracture of the right patella and right lower leg. Based on this evidence, they suggest the king may have suffered an accident in which he broke his leg badly, leaving an open wound. Although the break itself would not have been life-threatening, infection might have set in. However, this part of the team believes it also possible, although less likely, that this fracture was caused by the embalmers". "Part of the team believes that the above scenario is absolutely not possible. They maintain that the fracture mentioned above can only have been done by Carter's team during extraction of the body from the coffin. They argue that if such a fracture had been suffered in life, there would have been evidence for hemorrhage or hematoma present in the CT scan. They believe the embalming liquid was pushed into the fracture by Carter's team". However, one of the main reasons that murder has ragged on as a possible cause of King Tut's death is because of a fracture to the back of his head. Revealed in an X-ray of his mummy made by the University of Liverpool, a trauma specialist at Long Island University in the US theorized that the blow was not caused by an accident. However, according to Dr. Hawass, "The entire team agrees that there is NO evidence for murder present in the skull of Tutankhamun. There is NO area on the back of the skull that indicates a partially healed blow. There are two bone fragments loose in the skull. These cannot possibly have been from an injury from before death, as they would have become stuck in the embalming material. The scientific team has matched these pieces to the fractured cervical vertebra and foramen magnum, and believes these were broken either during the embalming process or by Carter's team". So, while some recent news coverage seems to indicate that all of the questions surrounding Tutankhamun's death have now been answered, at least for some scholars, they have not. Perhaps, once all the results of the recent CAT scan have been released, everyone may be in agreement, but there still seems to be some question, at least according to Dr. Hawass, that at least some of the team that examined the CAT scans disagree with the absolute finding that gangrene caused by a broken leg caused King Tut's death. Therefore, we know that he wasn't murdered.

He was born at or around the year 761 BC. I got that from adding 65 (his age at death) to 696 BC (his date of death), according the the site I found: http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qa4128/is_200409/ai_n9438894/.

Howard Carter, a famous British archaeologist, discovered the tomb of the Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun, in the early 1900s..

A Pharaoh, was the proper title of the Egyptian rulers from 3.300 BCE until 30 BCE when Egypt was conquered by the Romans and was annexed to the Roman Empire.

Egypt has had a president since 1953 June 18.
