We have started our
topic on Ancient Egypt with a focus on people’s achievements from that era. Please
research Tutankhamun and find five facts about him to post on the blog. What
did he achieve in his time as pharaoh?
1. Pharaohs were kings or queens of Egypt. 2. Most Pharaohs were men but some well known Pharaohs, such as Nefertiti and Cleopatara. 3. The fist Pharaoh of Egypt was Barmer sometimes called Menes. 4. A Pharaoh often had several wives but only one was queen. 5. The most famous Egyptian pharaoh today is , without doubt , Tutankhamun .
Tutankhamen was the Egyptian pharaoh of the 18 dynasty during period of the Egyptian history know as the new Kingdom. He is colloquially referredto a king tu
Fact One Tutankhamen was only eight or nine when he became ruler of Egypt. As King at such a young age, most of the decision-making was made by two senior figures, likely to have been Ay (father of Nefertiti) and Horemheb, an army commander. Fact Two Over the years, scientists has used available technology to determine the cause of Tutankhamen’s death. The two most popular theories about his death are that he suffered a blow to the back of the head, either accidentally or deliberately (in other words, murder), or that he broke or fractured his leg which became infected - an infection that led to his death possibly only days later. Fact Three Tutankhamen was born Tutankhaten. Akhenaten, Tutankhamen’s father, wanted Egyptians to worship one god, the Sun God Aten, instead of the multitude of gods they already worshipped and the main deity Amun. The "Aten" at the end of Tutankhamen and Akhenaten's names refers to this (Akhenaten means "servant of the Aten" and Tutankhaten means "Living image of Aten"). Akhenaten's changes weren't too popular, so when Tutankhaten was in charge, he changed things back to how they were, reopening the various closed temples around the country, and changing his name to Tutankhamen. Incidentally, Akhenaten's original name before he started making changes was Amenhotep IV.
Fact four Despite being one of the most well known of the Egyptian pharaohs to modern people, evidence of Tutankhamen’s reign was obliterated shortly after his death. The ruler of Egypt after the death of Tutankhamen’s successor was Horemheb, who replaced Tutankhamen’s name with his own on many monuments bearing Tutankhamen’s name.
Fact Five Egyptologist Howard Carter discovered Tutankhamen’s tomb on 4th November 1922. It was so well preserved that we are able to get a more complete insight of Tutankhamen’s life due. Tutankhamen’s remains are still contained in his tomb in the Valley of the Kings at Luxor, Egypt. His famous burial mask is on public display in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo (in the only air-conditioned room in the building!).
Fact Six CAT scans on Tutankhamen’s body in 200 CAT scans on Tutankhamen’s body in 2005 revealed that the king was about 5 foot , 8 inches tall ( 180cm ). He was a slight build but was well nourished.
Fact Seven Tutankhamen and his wife had no children, although Ankhesenpaaten did miscarry twice. The bodies of two stillborn baby girls were mummified and placed in Tutankhamen’s tomb in small coffins.
Five facts that are essential to know about Tutankhamun:
1. King Tutankhamun began his reign when he was only nine years old (1370 B.C.E.) and finished it when he was eighteen (which is when his death took place (1352 B.C.E.).
2. King Tutankhamun (also pronounced as [toot-aka-men] in Egyptian) was famous because of the amazing treasures that were discovered in his tomb in 1922, along with him (discovered by an English man called Howard Carter).
3. Over the years, we also found that he had a broken leg, a fractured heel, a developing disease and malaria (an illness caused by mosquitoes).
4. King Tutankhamun loved sport and his favourite ones were hunting (the most dangerous sport), fishing (he loved sitting in the wooden boats) and chariot racing(the second-most dangerous sport).
5. King Tutankhamun( also known as the ‘Boy King’ for the shortest reign ever held) was discovered in a tomb buried in the Valley of the Kings along with other notable pharaohs and their beloved treasures.
Tutankhamun is a great Egyptian pharaoh of 1332 BC to 1323 BC reign. His original name is Tutankhaten which means ‘Living Image of Aten’. He had reigned for nine years. Tutankhamun was the son of Akhenaten and one of Akhenaten's sister or perhaps one of his cousins. As a prince he was known as Tutankhaten. He was ascended to the throne in 1333 BC, at the age of nine or ten, taking the throne name Nebkheperure. When he became king he married his half-sister, the king initiated building projects in Thebes as part of restorations and he dedicated a temple to Amun. He erected many monuments and there is an inscription written on his tomb door which declares that the king had spent his life in fashioning the images of gods and many traditional festivals were again celebrated such as Apis Bull, Horemakhet and Opet. The country became economically weak following the reign of Akhenaten. When Tutankhamun ascended the throne everything became good in his reign. He achieved this by changing the worship of God Aten to God Amun to supremacy. His success was appreciated by many other countries by giving him gifts. In spite of his efforts for improved relations with neighboring countries there were many battles with Nubians and Asiatics. He died at the age of 19 because of his physical disabilities, he used to walk with a cane. Tutankhamun was buried in a small tomb as he died unexpectedly. Because of his unexpected death he was in his tomb after 70 days. Unfortunately his tomb got robbed 2 times and his tombs location got lost and buried under stone chips and flooding occurred evidently his tomb is in the valley of kings.

Tutankhamun was only eight or nine when he became ruler of Egypt. As King at such a young age, most of the decision-making was made by two senior figures, likely to have been Ay (father of Nefertiti) and Horemheb, an army commander.
Tutankhamun was only King for about ten years before dying in his late teens. It was estimated that he ruled from 1333 BC to1324 BC.
Over the years, scientists have used available technology to determine the cause of Tutankhamun's death. The two most popular theories about his death are that he suffered a blow to the back of the head, either accidentally or deliberately (in other words, murder), or that he broke or fractured his leg which became infected - an infection that led to his death possibly only days later.
Tutankhamun may have married one of his half-sisters. It is thought that Tutankhamun's father was Akhenaten. Akhenaten was married to Nefertiti, who bore him six daughters. Akhenaten also had a lesser wife, Kira, who is believed to have given birth to Tutankhamun. It is thought that Tutankhamun married Ankhesenpaaten, one of the daughters of Akhenaten and Nefertiti.

Tutankhamun was born Tutankhaten. Akhenaten, Tutankhamun's father, wanted Egyptians to worship one god, the Sun God Aten, instead of the multitude of gods they already worshipped and the main deity Amun. The "Aten" at the end of Tutankhaten and Akhenaten's names refers to this (Akhenaten means "servant of the Aten" and Tutankhaten means "Living image of Aten").

King Tut lived around 1343 to 1323 BC, and because he was only ten years old when he became a pharaoh, he was called the ‘boy king’. King Tut’s father was the pharaoh Akhenaten. This pharaoh made complete changes to the religion of Egypt, getting rid of their idea of many gods and changing their worship to one god: Aten, the sun god. He became unpopular with the people of Egypt and the priests of the many temples, especially when he destroyed the images of all of the other gods. When he died, many people removed his image and name, hoping everyone would forget about him.
The reason that Tutankhamun is so well known today is that his tomb, containing fabulous treasures, was found early this century (1922) by British archaeologists Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon.He was buried in a hastily prepared tomb in the Valley of the Kings at Thebes, the traditional burial place of his predecessors. The person responsible for his burial, and shown on one of the walls in Tutankhamun's tomb, was Ay who succeeded him on the Egyptian throne.
The small tomb contained hundreds of objects (now housed in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo), many richly decorated and covered in gold, that would be needed by the king in his afterlife.
Tutankhamun's Treasures
Over 3,000 treasures were placed in the tomb to help Tutankhamen in his afterlife, and the walls of the burial chamber were painted with scenes of his voyage to the afterworld.
Tutankhamun was probably born at Akhetaten which was the capital city of Egypt. He was born in about the year 1346 BC.
At what age did Tutankhamun become a Pharaoh?
He became pharaoh at the tender age of nine in 1337 BC and reigned during the 18th Dynasty when the Egyptian Empire was at its height. He reigned from about 1337 to 1328 BC. His tomb was discovered by a team of British archaeologists in 1922, nearly 3000 years after his death.

Several finds made in the Valley of the Kings over the years led Howard Carter to believe that the king was still somewhere in the Valley.
Carter believed he found clues to Tutankhamun in the discoveries made by Theodore Davis. Davis had found a cup and other fragments bearing the name of Tutankhamen and his queen.
Where was Tutankhamun buried?
He was buried in a hastily prepared tomb in the Valley of the Kings at Thebes, the traditional burial place of his predecessors. The person responsible for his burial, and shown on one of the walls in Tutankhamun's tomb, was Ay who succeeded him on the Egyptian throne.

During an x-ray of the mummy in 1968, scientists found bone fragments in Tut's skull, prompting a sensational theory that the boy king had been bludgeoned to death.
Another recent theory is that King Tutankhamun wasn't murdered after all, but died from a broken leg. According to National Geographic (December 2006) a new CT scan of King Tutankhamun's mummy "showed a thin coating of embalming resin around the leg break, suggesting that Tut broke his leg just before he died and that his death may have resulted from an infection or other complications."
What was Tut's funeral like?
Tutankhamun died suddenly and so his burial was arranged in haste.

Tutankhamun was an ancient Egyptian Pharoah and was born at about 1346 BC. He was born as Tutankhaten. His father was called Akhenaten and was also a Pharoah. Tutankhamuns father Akhenaten always wanted people to worship just one God, called Aten who was the Sun God. He did not want people to worship lots of Gods, this made his father unpopular with people.
Tutankhamun was about 9 years old when he became Pharoah. His wife was called Ankhesenpaaten. Tutankhamuns most important achievement was that he changed the religion back to believing in the almighty God called Ra, and not Ra and Amun which was two different Gods merged into one. Tutankhamun constructed lots of temples around Egypt and decorated them beautifully and he also moved the capital city to Memphis.
Tutenkhamun died at about 18 years old, he was king for just about 10 years. When he died people said that he was actually murdered by his Grand father in law, so that he could marry his Grand daughter and become King himself. But Scientists believe that he actually died of a leg infection.

His tomb was discovered by a team of British archaeologists in 1922, nearly 3000 years after his death.
Why is Tutankhamun so famous?
The reason that Tutankhamun is so well known today is that his tomb, containing fabulous treasures, was found early this century (1922) by British archaeologists Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon.
When was Tutankhamun's tomb discovered?
The tomb of Egypt's boy-king Tutankhamun was discovered on November 4, 1922 by English archaeologist Howard Carter.
Who was Howard Carter?
Howard Carter was born in 1874 in Norfolk, England. His father named Samuel Carter was an artist who taught Howard Carter the fundamentals of drawing and painting.
How did Howard Carter know where to look?
Several finds made in the Valley of the Kings over the years led Howard Carter to believe that the king was still somewhere in the Valley.
Carter believed he found clues to Tutankhamun in the discoveries made by Theodore Davis. Davis had found a cup and other fragments bearing the name of Tutankhamen and his queen.
Where was Tutankhamun buried?
He was buried in a hastily prepared tomb in the Valley of the Kings at Thebes, the traditional burial place of his predecessors. The person responsible for his burial, and shown on one of the walls in Tutankhamun's tomb, was Ay who succeeded him on the Egyptian throne.
Quick Fact : The first of a flight of 16 descending steps was found on 4 November 1922, just in front and to the north side of the entrance to the tomb of Ramesses VI.
The Valley of the Kings in Upper Egypt contains many of the tombs of pharaohs from the New Kingdom, including Tutankhamun and Ramesses the Great.
What did they find inside the Tomb?
The small tomb contained hundreds of objects (now housed in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo), many richly decorated and covered in gold, that would be needed by the king in his afterlife.
Tutankhamun's Treasures
Over 3,000 treasures were placed in the tomb to help Tutankhamen in his afterlife, and the walls of the burial chamber were painted with scenes of his voyage to the afterworld.
When did Tutankhamun die?
Tutankhamun reigned for around 9 years, making him about 18 when he died.
How did Tutankhamun die?
There is no positive evidence on Tutankhamun's mummy as to how he met his death.
During an x-ray of the mummy in 1968, scientists found bone fragments in Tut's skull, prompting a sensational theory that the boy king had been bludgeoned to death.
Another recent theory is that King Tutankhamun wasn't murdered after all, but died from a broken leg. According to National Geographic (December 2006) a new CT scan of King Tutankhamun's mummy "showed a thin coating of embalming resin around the leg break, suggesting that Tut broke his leg just before he died and that his death may have resulted from an infection or other complications."
What was Tut's funeral like?
Tutankhamun died suddenly and so his burial was arranged in haste.

DeleteTutankhamun was only eight or nine when he became ruler of Egypt. As King at such a young age, most of the decision-making was made by two senior figures, likely to have been Ay (father of Nefertiti) and Horemheb, an army commander.
ReplyDeleteTutankhamun was only King for about ten years before dying in his late teens. It was estimated that he ruled from 1333 BC to1324 BC.
Over the years, scientists have used available technology to determine the cause of Tutankhamun's death. The two most popular theories about his death are that he suffered a blow to the back of the head, either accidentally or deliberately (in other words, murder), or that he broke or fractured his leg which became infected - an infection that led to his death possibly only days later.
Tutankhamun may have married one of his half-sisters. It is thought that Tutankhamun's father was Akhenaten. Akhenaten was married to Nefertiti, who bore him six daughters. Akhenaten also had a lesser wife, Kira, who is believed to have given birth to Tutankhamun. It is thought that Tutankhamun married Ankhesenpaaten, one of the daughters of Akhenaten and Nefertiti. Confused?
Tutankhamun was born Tutankhaten. Akhenaten, Tutankhamun's father, wanted Egyptians to worship one god, the Sun God Aten, instead of the multitude of gods they already worshipped and the main deity Amun. The "Aten" at the end of Tutankhaten and Akhenaten's names refers to this (Akhenaten means "servant of the Aten" and Tutankhaten means "Living image of Aten"). Akhenaten's changes weren't too popular, so when Tutankhaten was in charge, he changed things back to how they were, reopening the various closed temples around the country, and changing his name to Tutankhamun. Incidentally, Akhenaten's original name before he started making changes was Amenhotep IV.

DeleteTutankhamun was an ancient Egyptian Pharoah and was born at about 1346 BC. He was born as Tutankhaten. His father was called Akhenaten and was also a Pharoah. Tutankhamuns father Akhenaten always wanted people to worship just one God, called Aten who was the Sun God. He did not want people to worship lots of Gods, this made his father unpopular with people.
ReplyDeleteTutankhamun was about 9 years old when he became Pharoah. His wife was called Ankhesenpaaten. Tutankhamuns most important achievement was that he changed the religion back to believing in the almighty God called Ra, and not Ra and Amun which was two different Gods merged into one. Tutankhamun constructed lots of temples around Egypt and decorated them beautifully and he also moved the capital city to Memphis.
Tutenkhamun died at about 18 years old, he was king for just about 10 years. When he died people said that he was actually murdered by his Grand father in law, so that he could marry his Grand daughter and become King himself. But Scientists believe that he actually died of a leg infection.
King's Tut's tomb was found in November 1922 by a British man called Howard Carter and his tomb had lots of secret treasures in it. Tutankhamun is the most famous pharoah today.
