Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that possibly the most well - known Egyptian figure of the ancient world is that of Tutankhamen or Tutankhamen, the boy King. This young Pharaoh is known to have died while still in his teens and was buried in Egypt's Valley of the Kings more than 3000 years ago. The story and the history of this young boy King have been the source of conjecture and mystery and has been called one of the greatest mysteries of the ancient Egyptian world. This is also related to the possibility that Tutankhamen may have been murdered. The writer notes that the life and history of this young King still remains to a large extent shrouded in mystery and modern research methods are continuality being implemented in an effort to find more information. The writer concludes that the great wealth and art that was preserved in the burial chamber of Tutankhamen will remain a source of wonder, whatever further research may reveal.
From the Paper
"Akhenaten ruled Egypt from this city with his main wife, Nefertiti. She bore him six daughters but no son. This presented a problems concerning Akhenaten's lineage and for the continuation of the next Pharaoh. Scholars are of the opinion that Akhenaten and a lesser wife named Kiya were the parents of Tutankhaten, as Tutankhamun was known at first."
"In his early years Tutankhamun or Tutankhamen probably spent most of the formative period of his life in the palaces of Akhetaten and would have been tutored in many skills, including reading and writing. However, the historical records this period are very unclear and both the names of Nefertiti and Kiya no longer appear in the written records of the time. Another figure, Smenkhkare, however does appear in the records pertaining to the time and it has been suggested that he may have been a brother of Tutankhaten. What is clear is that Tutankhamen became Pharaoh after the deaths of Akhenaten and Smenkhkare at the age of nine."

Abstract
Born at Akhetaton in 1343 BC, Tutankhamen was an Egyptian Pharoah of the 18th dynasty. The paper examines the state of Egypt at the time that Tutankhamen was born and ruled. It examines the important discovery of King Tut's tomb and shows how it influenced the fields of archaeology and history, the study of forensics and the culture of the modern world.
From the Paper
"The primary significance of King Tutankhamen is the discovery of his tomb in the Valley of the Kings by English archaeologists Howard Carter and the Earl of Carnarvon in 1922. For years archaeologists had been routinely excavating and documenting the burials in the Valley of the Kings. But the tombs, while nonetheless containing valuable information, had been plundered by grave robbers throughout the centuries. The tomb of Tutankhamen was a spectacular find, having escaped the ravages of time and the plundering of grave robbers. Carter was the first to lay eyes on the riches of the burial chamber in more than two thousand years."

From the Paper
"Tutankhamun was one of the youngest kings in Egypt, but his tomb was one of the most detailed and beautiful tombs in all of Egypt. No one knows why such a young king was buried in such an elaborate tomb. It is hard to imagine what the young king must have been like in his years. He lived a very short life and died in 1323 B.C.
?From a dry, dusty, Upper Egyptian valley in the year 1922, the news of the discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun flashed around the world and excited the imaginations of all who heard it.? On November 4th, 1922, the Tomb of Tutankhamun was found hidden beneath the foundations of Ramesses workmen?s huts. They were near the entrance of the tomb of Ramesses VI. The discovery of the tomb was made by Lord Carnarvon and Howard Carter."
