Tutankhamun+(King+Tut)

Back to home Back to group Tutankhamun (King Tut) was a pharaoh that was very unknown, nobody knew how he died, some people didn't even know if he existed until **Howard Carter found his tomb.** There is some stuff people can't explain, like the curse of King Tut. There are many reasons why king Tut is famous and it was not only for his tomb.

King Tut's family was royal. His father was king Akhenaten who married twice, once to Kiya, King Tut's mother, and to Nefertiti. King Tut married his step sister Ankhesenpaaten with which he had two daughters, both of which died and were burried in his tomb with him. One of King Tut's friends was Ay who took his role as king after he died.

King Tut had many achivevements, which made him famous. He got married and became king at the age of nine. He changed his name to Tutankhamun but it was origianlyTutankhaten. One of the things that made him famous was how he died. **//Nobody knew how he died but what people believe is he was probably murdered or killed by an illness.//** Then of course the tomb of King Tut the thing that told us all about King Tut.


 * The tomb of King Tut was how we know everything about him.** This tomb was found by a man named Howard Cater, after many people tried looking for King Tut's tomb none found it. After four days of searching they finally **//found it in the Valley of Kings.//** The weirdest thing was the tomb door was broken down and nothing was stolen and **all the treasures were there.** Some people think that it was tomb robbers but were caught in the middle of trying to steal all of the treasures.

The scariest thing about King Tut was the curse of him. Not may people believe in the curse of King Tut but stuff that happens makes it seem very real. For example when they where unwrapping King Tut, the man had cut himself in the cheek with a shaving accident had later been bit by a mosquito in the cut. When King Tut was unwrapped he had the same injury in the same place as the man with the shaving accident. You see the curse of King Tut is not something that just happens, the spirt of King Tut haunts those that find the tomb.
