King Tutankhamun

The life and reign of king tutankhamun.

King Tutankhamun was the last heir of a powerful family that ruled ancient Egypt for many centuries. Although his rule was unfilled his death was treated with great fanfare as he was the last of his line. It is astonishing how Tutankhamun continues do fascinate people today. More than 8 million people showed up to see his mask and artifacts from his tomb during the King Tut tour of the United States in the 1977. The comedian Steve Martin gave his career a big boost when he recorded a silly song about the pharaoh around the time of the tour. An exhibit in the mid 2000s called “Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs”  similar to one in 1977  cleared $10 million in each city it appeared in. The admission fee was as high as $30. More than a million people saw the exhibit in Chicago and Philadelphia and nearly a million saw it in Los Angeles. The tour took place in spite of a ban that had been imposed after a gilt statue from Tut’s tomb was broken during a tour of Germany in 1982

Life and reign of king tutankhamun.

Tutankhamun To show his people that he was committed to upholding these decisions, the young king made the choice to formally change his name. Tutankhaten became Tutankhamun — the living image of Amun. By doing this Tutankhamun cemented Amun’s return to his role as king of the gods. The newly named king also uprooted the royal court, moving from his childhood home of Amarna to Thebes. This was another reversal of Akhenaten’s decisions
