Tutankhamun
From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.
Tutankhamun was Pharaoh (like a king) of Ancient Egypt from about 1334 BC to 1323 BC. Tutankhamun is famous as the only pharaoh to have his tomb found with nearly everything he was buried with. Tutankhamun, sometimes called "King Tut," died very young at age 19. Some scientists thought Tutankhamun was killed by someone else. When his mummy was examined by a CAT scan in January, 2005, a very bad break in the leg was found. It could have become infected and caused his death. Others believe that his vizier, Ay, murdered him as he had the chance and wanted to, because Ay also succeeded him as Pharoah. Because of this, Tut was buried in Ay's tomb and Ay in his.
The tomb was discovered in 1922 by a man named Howard Carter.
