 * Tutankhamun** (alternately spelled with //Tutenkh-//, //-amen//, //-amon//), [|Egyptian] //twt-ˁnḫ-ı͗mn//, approx. [|[təwaːt ʕaːnəx ʔaˈmaːn]] ; 1341 BC – 1323 BC) was an [|Egyptian] [|pharaoh] of the [|18th dynasty] (ruled c.1333 BC – 1323 BC in the conventional chronology), during the period of [|Egyptian history] known as the [|New Kingdom]. His original name, **Tutankhaten,** means "Living Image of [|Aten]", while Tutankhamun means "Living Image of [|Amun]". In hieroglyphs the name Tutankhamun was typically written Amen-tut-ankh, because of a scribal custom that placed a divine name at the beginning of a phrase to show appropriate reverence.[|[3]] He is possibly also the //Nibhurrereya// of the [|Amarna letters]. He was likely the [|18th dynasty] king 'Rathotis' who, according to [|Manetho], an ancient historian, had reigned for nine years — a figure which conforms with [|Flavius Josephus's] version of Manetho's //Epitome//.[|[4]]

Significance
Tutankhamun receives flowers from [|Ankhesenamen] Tutankhamun was nine years old when he became pharaoh and reigned for approximately ten years. In historical terms, Tutankhamun's significance stems from his rejection of the radical religious innovations introduced by his predecessor and father, [|Akhenaten].[|[6]] Secondly, his tomb in the [|Valley of the Kings] was discovered by Carter almost completely intact — the most complete ancient Egyptian royal tomb ever found. As Tutankhamun began his reign at such an early age, his [|vizier] and eventual successor [|Ay] was probably making most of the important political decisions during Tutankhamun's reign. Tutankhamun was one of the few kings worshiped as a god and honored with a cult-like following in his own lifetime.[|[7]] A [|stela] discovered at Karnak and dedicated to Amun-Re and Tutankhamun indicates that the king could be appealed to in his deified state for forgiveness and to free the petitioner from an ailment caused by wrongdoing. Temples of his cult were built as far away as in [|Kawa] and [|Faras] in Nubia. The title of the sister of the Viceroy of Kush included a reference to the deified king, indicative of the universality of his cult.[|[8]]
