Tutankhamun (1340 BC) was the Egyptian pharaoh of the 18th dynasty. He became king at the age of 12 and died at 18. He abandoned the worship of the sun-god instituted by Akhenaten, reinstating the worship of Amun and made Thebes the capital city.

Although not important in the history of Egypt, he became world famous because of the rich and varied contents of his tomb at Thebes in the Valley of the Kings, discovered in 1922 by Lord Carnarvon and Howard Carter.
