It is believed that Tutankhamun is the son of the Pharaoh Akheaten and his second wife Kiya. He was only around 5-feet 6-inches tall(Infacte many Egyptian rulers weren't very tall). Tut's name was Tutankhaten(Living Image of the Aten) then was changed to Tutankhamun(Living Image of Amun) a year or two into his reign, when polytheism was restored to Egypt(Tut's father had taken the unprecedented and revolutionary step of replacing the traditional old gods of Egypt with a single sun god called a Aten, which the priest of Amun were not happy about.).  Tut came to the throne at the age of nine at perhaps around 1334 B.C., ruled for for about 10 years. Shorty after becoming king, Tutankhamun married his half-sister Ankhesenamun, a daughter of Akhenaten and his first wife, Nefertiti. Not much is known about Tut's life only that it was cut short at the age of 19. No one knows the cause of death. There has been many speculations on what could of happened but nothing solid. Tut's mummy was found in 1922 by Howard Carter.

Here are some pictures I have drawn of Tut : King Tut ,  Tut and his wife,   King Tutankhamun
