King Tut

King Tutankhamun, commonly known as King Tut, was an Egyptian pharaoh who ruled around 1332-1323 BCE during the 18th Dynasty. Despite his brief reign and young age, he’s famous today because his nearly intact tomb was discovered in 1922, providing invaluable insights into ancient Egyptian burial practices and art. His burial treasures, including a gold mask, have captivated the world. King Tut's significance lies more in what his tomb reveals about ancient Egypt than his impact as a ruler, making him a symbol of Egypt’s rich archaeological history.
