King Tutankhamun

Originally Howard Carter discovered the tomb. However, Lord Carnarvon paid Howard a few bob to keep it quiet so that he could say that he discovered it. King Tutankhamen was discovered by Howard Carter in 1922. Carter found him in the valley of the kings and his search was financed by lord Carnarvon. When the expedition began, they found many workmen's huts and under the first hut they discovered stone steps going down. Those steps would soon lead to the tomb of the boy king! (All this info and to think I am only 12 years old)

King Bhumibol Adulyadej was born on December 5th 1927. He will be 80 years old in 2007.

because it protected the tomb from being robed by tomb thieves

that he had a large bump on the back of his head which they concluded that he had been murdered. then in 2005 another archaeologist opened up the case and has washed away that conclusion and has ruled his death " to be determined "

King tuts father died when tut was around 8 yrs old. Then the eldest brother of the royal family became king. The people of Egypt hated their new king because he only wanted to believe in one god, the god of the sun. The king got rid of all the temples that were dedicated to other gods. But this king soon died and tut became king around the age of 9.

King tut was called the boy king because he became king when he was only a little boy.

Alexander the Great took Judah over in passing and incorporated it as a minor part of his empire.
No Jewish king defeated the Persians, the Persians took over Judah as part of their empire.

Tutankhamun's successor was Ay, who served as pharaoh of ancient Egypt after Tutankhamun's death around 1323 BCE. Ay was a high-ranking official and likely served as a regent before ascending to the throne. His reign was relatively short, lasting only about four years, and he continued some of the religious reforms initiated by Tutankhamun. After Ay, Horemheb, a military general, succeeded him, marking a shift in the ruling dynasty.

Tutankhamen or King Tut and Tuthmosis III were both famous Egyptian Pharaohs. King Tut died at a young age and is now famous for his tomb. King Tut became a pharaoh a few centuries before Tuthmosis III.

Moses and king tut weren't living at the same time period. The only thing that is in common in the time period they lived in is that they both live before Jesus was born

There isn't an actual artist that made it it was sort of like a culture and that would be egyptians.

that's simple they were green.

Although there is some speculation that he was assassinated, the general consensus is that his death was accidental. CT scan taken in 2005 shows that he had badly broken his leg before his death, and that leg had become infected. DNA analysis, conducted in 2010 showed the presence of malaria in his system. It is believed that these two conditions, combined, led to his death.

3 Coffins that were held inside a stone sarcophogus. The first two coffins were made of wood and the innermost (the one that held his mummified body) was made of solid gold weighing about 115 KGs.
King Tutankhamen had four coffins.

King Tutankhamun can be found in various exhibits that travel world. The exhibit seems to have moved around a lot from the 1970's til 2009, It began in the British museum, moving over the years to Switzerland, Germany, Russia, France, Canada, Los Angeles, Florida, Chicago, Philadelphia, London, Dallas, and New York. it is currently back in Egypt, though a separate exhibition is still in Atlanta where many items from the tomb can still be seen. (this does not include the famous gold mask however, which is too fragile to ever travel again)

Tutankhamun's body is in his tomb in the valley of the Kings, in his tomb.

His death mask, sarcophagus, etc are all in Cairo museum.

Only minor items are allowed to travel.

Family relationships for that time period are very complicated and unclear, but if you go with the common theory that Tutankhamun was a son of Akhenaten, then yes, he did have siblings. Akhenaten had several daughters and these daughters may have been full or half sisters to Tutankhamun.
Tutankhamun also married a woman who was probably his half-sister, Ankhesenamun, a daughter of Akhenaten.

The children of Akhenaten (that we know of for sure), include: Meritaten, Meketaten, Ankhesenamun (originally named Ankhesenpaaten), Neferneferuaten Tasherit, Neferneferure, and Setepenre. These were all daughters.

Possible children of Akhenaten include: Smenkhare, Ankhesenpaaten Tasherit, and Tutankhamun himself.

Other theories about Tutankhamun's parentage suggest that he may have been a son of Amenhotep III, which would make him a brother to Akhenaten.
Yet another theory suggest that Tut was the son of Smenkhare. Given that scholars cannot agree on who Smehnkhare was, who his parentage was, or whether he had children (or even, in some cases if he was a *he*), it is nearly impossible to postulate whether Tut had siblings if he was a son of Smenkhare.

Howard Carter was very excited by his find. He said, "I see wonderous things."

Archaeologist Howard Carter unearthed Tutankhamun's treasure-filled tomb in 1922, the first discovered with its riches so intact but Carter and his team partly destroyed the mummy in search of more treasures buried with the pharaoh, separating it into 18 sections. Humidity and heat, much of it generated by the breath of the tomb's 5,000 daily visitors, have also taken a toll. Right now the mummy has no special protection from the humidity in the tomb. A new case will be specially sealed to protect it from this sort of damage.


You might be asking about the mummy curse. The person who funded the discovery of King Tut's Tomb, died shortly after the discovery. The path to his death began in the spring of 1923 when he was bitten on the cheek by a mosquito. During his morning shaving routines, he further aggravated the mosquito bite. It soon became infected and Lord Carnarvon found himself ill. He suffered a high fever and chills. A doctor was sent to examine him but medical attention arrived too late and Lord Carnarvon died. At that exact moment the lights in Cairo mysteriously went out. Once Carnarvon died the media went wild with stories of his death. They claimed King Tut wanted vengeance and announced a mummy's curse, which targeted those who had entered the tomb. Not only did the death of Carnarvon get all the people in an uproar but other stories began to surface as well. Of the stories that surfaced, two remain prominent. One of the prominent stories is that a cobra killed Howard Carter's pet canary after the discovery of King Tu's tomb. The other story is that Lord Carnarvon's dog howled and dropped dead at two in the morning when Carnarvon died.

It took him 20 years and then he found it on November 22. 1922.

King Tutankhamen was born in 1341 B.C. He died In 1323. The latest report is that he died of gangrene in a badly broken leg.

King Tutankhamun's life was very short, and not to mention sad. When Tutankhamun was only 5, his father, and brother, had passed away. He was heir to the throne at the age of 9. Tutankhamun was married by the age of 12, and later died. Geologists do not know exactly what happened to him. One of the most common asked questions of this century is whether or not he was murdered. That question is still being researched today. Another question is, what is the curse of King Tut? Archeologists believe that the curse of King Tut is, if you disturb his tomb, you will die a week later. This curse is now believed after the man who found Tut's tomb, died a week after.

The tomb is carved out of the sandstone rock in the Valley of the Kings in central Egypt. The tomb itself is therefore a hole in the ground and hardly weighs anything (the air inside weighs a few kilograms).

The heaviest object that was found in the tomb is the red stone sarcophagus which weighs about 1330 kilograms, nest heaviest is the third coffin which was made primarily out of gold and weighed 110 kilograms.

yes he does have a brother etleast 2 but i don't know if he has any more then two brothers but he is a child of 8 so he does have some i just don't know how many

The pharaoh named Ahkmenrah is not a real Egyptian pharaoh. He was actually a character in the Night at the Museum movies.

King Tut's mask was made around the time of the Ancient Egytians. You can tell because he was an Egytian pharaoh (king).
