Tutankhamun (King Tut)

Tutankhamun, commonly known as King Tut, was an Egyptian pharaoh who ruled around 1332–1323 BCE during the 18th Dynasty. Despite his short reign and young age—about nine or ten—his tomb, discovered in 1922 near Luxor, provided extraordinary artifacts and treasures that offer insight into ancient Egyptian culture and burial practices. The tomb's intact condition and wealth of objects made him one of the most famous Egyptian rulers, symbolizing Egypt’s rich history. His legacy endures through these discoveries, which continue to fascinate historians, archaeologists, and the public worldwide.
