Chapters

King Tutankhamen, born in 1341 BC, was one of the last pharaohs of the 18th dynasty. He reversed the monotheistic religious reforms of his father, Akhenaten, restoring the traditional pantheon of Egyptian gods. Despite a short reign, dying at 19, his legacy is tied to the discovery of his remarkably preserved tomb.
  • Tutankhamen's father, Akhenaten, introduced monotheism, upending Egyptian religion.
  • Tutankhamen reversed his father's religious reforms, restoring traditional polytheism.
  • Tutankhamen ruled for only nine years, dying at age 19.
