Did Aye kill King Tutankhamun?
Aye was the adviser to both King Tut and his father, Akhenaton. Aye was NOT an honest person, at one point being Akhenaton's right hand man when Akhenaton introduced monotheism to ancient Egypt - to the point that Aye is depicted in ancient artifacts as worshipping the god Akhenaton believed in (Aton) - then whisking King Tut and his wife back to the area where polytheism was the belief and ultimately marrying King Tut's wife after his death. Some believe that Aye may have murdered King Tut, at the very least he was hypocritical and disrespectful to the memory of King Tut's father.
How did tutankhamun become pharaoh?
Because when a Pharoah dies his eldest son becomes heir to the throne. King Tut became pharoah at only nine years old, so he had his uncle to advise him. He only lasted 9 years until he died. He was killed by his wife, Ankhesenamun. :))
What are the reasons King Tutankhamun died?
It is believed he died of an infection in the leg. It got so bad, he collapsed and died. not so.
King Tut never reached manhood. We must look at his life to discover the truth about his death. Tutankamen was born with many, genetic deformities and diseases.
There were hundreds of walking sticks found in his tomb, some worn down from overuse during his few short years. This means that he had to use a cane to walk since learning as a baby, or a young boy. He had buck teeth a cleft pallet, he suffered from a blood disease, and he had Mar-fan's disease. He had curvature of the spine, (Scoliosis) which is usually accompanied by retardation. One leg was far shorter than the other, and he had a club foot. He was a genetically deformed individual.
King Tut was next in line to the throne. At that time Aye, the nickname of Aknaton, Tut's older Sibling, was filling in for Tut. As the time approached, the royal family knew they could never allow Tut to sit on the throne. The Pharaoh was half god half man, a perfect human specimen. Tut was a Cretan. The royal family would never allow the outside world to see the genetically deformed Tut.
From the tomb you can see his burial was very rushed, but he was buried deep in the earth, so that no one would dig him up and discover the genetically deformed 'Pharaoh' of Egypt. This is why the tomb was sealed with a curse. To scare people away, because the Son of Horus would not have been a severely deformed human being.
Aknaton now sat on the throne of Egypt, and declared that he was the perfect specimen and only son of Amen Ra. You can see why Aknaton did this. However his reign was short lived. Hatshepsut, murdered Aknaton and then fled Egypt with a very large entourage of people. But she avenged the death of Tut. She wore a veil and the fake beard of Pharaoh, and brought forth a set of laws to those who followed after her. She was disgraced in Egypt, and her name was stricken from every monument, obelisk and even her tomb. Her name was replaced with
Tutmose I, II or III. None of these pharaoh's existed. Hatshepsut destroyed the Pharaohic line in Egypt. She Parted that Red sea, and the bloodline of Pharaoh was destroyed. Today scholars are very surprised by the power and intelligence of this Queen who would be king. She destroyed the power of Egypt, by killing her first born, the Law of Egypt. Her new law was to set in motion a revolution that is still being fought to this day. The world does not remember Hatshepsut.
How long was King Tutankhamun in power?
Tutankhamun was eight or nine years old when he became pharaoh, and reigned for approximately ten years before he died.

-----------------

Translation of the above: I think he began his rule at Akhetaten very briefly (= modern El Amarna, located - roughly - in the "Central Egypt" of the time), where Akhenaten the 'heretic' king had established himself, but quickly relocated back to the traditional New Kingdom capital of Thebes (in the South, or 'Upper Egypt') as he abandoned Akhenaten's 'heresies'.
If anyone else can provide more details it would be appreciated, as there seems to be very little written/known about Tutankhamun's reign and the exact circumstances of the abandonment of Akhetaten.
he ruled somewhere in Egypt

What is King Tutankhamun's tomb made of?
gold
Whoever constantly leaves the one word answers should be banned. King Tut's outer most coffin is made of wood and is overlaid with gold foil. The second coffin (inside the outer most) is the same. Only the inner most coffin was made of solid gold...approximately 2500 pounds worth of it. That makes it worth roughly 55 million dollars in gold weight alone as this is typed.

What did King Tutankhamun do that was so important?
King Tutankaten grew up in the North Palace at Akhetaten. His parentage is uncertain, but an inscription on a block from Akhetaten tells us that he was the son of a king and he may have been the son of the heretic king Akhenaten and his wife Kiya. King Tut was about 18 years old when he died, and had no great claim to fame other than the fact that he was an Egyptian pharoah. His fame in history is mostly due to the discovery of his tomb in 1922, which was completely almost intact.

How does King Tutankhamun impact us today?
King Tut, was not well known for accomplishments. There is certainly not a long list. One thing I will tell you is though the things he did accomplish were great. But I'll bring it down to the point. He effected Egypt by just how young he was and the way he treated Egypt. I mean, when he was the age of 13 he demanded MORE power because he was not pleased with the way his advisors wer treating women and wanted it improved. However, he did not suceed. The women were treated betetr, but no more power was received, many times wer similar to this, he was slowly losing power. Egypt civilization. How to explain this is a little bit tricky. He was well acepted for restablishing all the temples that his father had banned, many people like him for that and so he effected the cultures. Also he effected war. There is no record of him going out to war, and even after his rule, for a while, there are no reported wars for quite some time. King tut effected the religious culture and egypts alliance with other countries. This us just the simple stuff, so please, if you know more, add more!
P.S I am not a vary smart person and am quite young this information to some may be unreliable, however I have just finished an assignment on king tut nd tried to use this site as a refernce...and failed. I did not want the same upom anyone else and so completed this out for your convienience! :)
