Egyptian history is without doubt deep. As a matter of fact, it is so deep that students could get a course in Egyptology. One of the kings that played a key role in creating the philosophical history of this country is Tutankhamun. He was born in 1341 B. C. E and was the 12th Pharaoh in the eighteenth Egyptian dynasty. His administration ruled for a short while, but he remains a legend. He is well known as the king boy who rued and died young having restored the old religious order of Egypt. The narrative behind the King Tut book is one that you simply not miss.
By tradition, Egyptians were polytheists. They worshiped many gods, but Amenhotep IV had another idea in store for them. What makes Tutankhamun a boy who made history is that he dared to demolish what his father had tried to build. As soon as he got into power, Egypt returned to the worship of many gods.
After the young ruler died, there was little left behind about him in terms of how he ruled, what he accomplished and how he lived. The discovery of his grave in 1922 led to numerous revelations that got the hard questions answered. Currently, there is rich data that explains the rule and also the life of the young Pharaoh.
When Tut was born, he was named Tutankhaten. The name meant the living image of Aten. At the time Egypt was in both political and social turmoil and Akhenaten, Tuts father advocated for the worship of one god Aten also known as the Sun disk. His aim may have been to deprive priests of power brought about by temple-based economy and instead shift the power to the local government officers and military commanders.
Tutankhatens became king when aged 9 years old. At the time, there was much corruption and chaos in Egypt because of the attempted religious changeover. Akhenatens, Tuts father was obsessive with the idea of turning his people from polytheists to monotheists. His one sided focus made other factors such as domestic and foreign affairs to be highly neglected.
Tut married Ankhesenamun his half-sister at the age of 9. They bore two daughters and both of them were stillborn. Given all that had happened, the people believed their Pharaoh was cursed. Revelations today have proven that this was not the case.
Tutankhamun took over power when young. This called for the assistance of the Vizier who helped the young boy to control power. At the time the Vizier was a man named Ay, together with Tut, they restored polytheism and Tutankhatens name was changed into Tutankhamun meaning the living image of Amun.
Tutankhamuns way of diplomacy succeeded even though many battles against the Asiatics and the Nubians were fought. Tut died at 19 and was buried as royalty in the Valley of Kings. In accordance with the traditions of his country, his body was mummified and laid to rest after seven days in a sealed tomb.
