Tutankhamun

Tutankhamun, also known as King Tut, was an Egyptian pharaoh of the 18th dynasty who ruled during the New Kingdom period. His tomb, discovered in 1922 by Howard Carter, captured the world's imagination due to its incredible treasures and the pharaoh's mysterious death at a young age. Although his reign was relatively short and some consider it uneventful, the discovery of his nearly intact tomb has provided invaluable insights into ancient Egyptian culture, art, and burial practices. The fascination with Tutankhamun continues to captivate historians and the public alike, making him one of the most famous pharaohs of ancient Egypt.
