TUTANKHAMUN :
Tutankhamun or Tut was the young king of Egyptian Pharaoh family. He was died at the young age of 14. He changed his name from Tutankhaten to Tutankhamun which means ' the living image of Amun'. He changed his name because he wanted to save or restore his old God Amun after the attack on the temple of Amun by Akhanaten. He was the last heir of his powerful family that ruled Egypt since many centuries.
However, in 1922 one tomb was discovered that was mostly untouched and was filled with treasure. It was the tomb of the Pharaoh Tutankhamun. The tomb is in the Valley of the Kings near Luxor, Egypt. This was where the Pharaohs and powerful nobles were buried for around 500 years during the history of Ancient Egypt.
