King Tutankhamun - The Boy King
Description
King Tutankhamun "The Boy King"
Tutankhamun, Tutankhaten (his original name), the boy King of Egypt (reigned 1333 – 23 BC) or King Tut (as known to most of the western people) is by far the most famous Egyptian Pharaoh today. Tutankhamun was eight or nine years old when he became pharaoh and reigned for approximately ten years. Since his death in his late teens the boy King remained unknown at rest in Egypt’s Valley of the Kings for more than 3,300 years because his tomb was concealed beneath the mud brick houses of the workmen who cut the tomb of Ramesses VI. Suddenly every thing was changed in November 1922, when Howard Carter discovered the tomb of Tutankhamun. The tomb most likely was not carved for a king (rather for a high official), but due to the fact that King Tut died so young, the tomb was subjected to rush modifications

Additional Information
Why King Tutankhamun ? Well when I was a small lad living in London I went to the British Museum with my school to see the 1972 King Tutankhamun exhibition, and from that day on I was hooked, how could all those treasure stay hidden for so long? So I have made up this page to try and show some of the great treasure Carter found back in 1922.
