Pharaoh Tuthankhamun`s
Golden Coffin. King Tutankhamen (or Tutankhamun) reigned Egypt as
pharaoh for 10 years until his death at age 19, around 1324 B.C. His
reign was notable for reversing the tumultuous religious reforms of
his father, Pharaoh Akhenaten, Tutankhamen’s legacy was largely
negated by his successors. He was barely unknown to the modern world
until 1922, when British archaeologist Howard Carter chiseled
through a doorway and entered the boy pharaoh’s tomb, which had
remained sealed for more than 3,200 years. |
