tutankhamun

In Year 5 we have been learning about Egypt and Tutankhamun. Tutankhamun was a Pharoh from the young age of 9 to the age of 18 or 19. Tutankhamun couldn`t spell his real name properly so he was called himself Tut. Tut was probably born in the capital city of Egypt called Akhetaten. The reason King Tut is so famous is that his tomb was found full of treasures they were found by archetects Howard Carter and Lord Canarvon. His tomb was descoverd by archeolegist in 1922 nearly 3000 years after his death.
