Tut


Walt: write the story of Tutankhamun (Tut).

Tut was the king of Ancient Egypt.  He ruled Egypt from 1333 BC - 1324 BC.  Tutankhamun was 8 or 9 years old when he became a king.  He died when he was 18 years old.  Kira gave birth to Tut.   Tut married Ankhesenpaaten.  Akhenaten is Tut father, so when Akhenaten died Tut took over him.

There are 2 beliefs about how  Tut died.  It is believed that Tut got murdered or had an infection from a fracture.    No one knows exactly how Tut died.

Tut was of slight build that is why his tomb was so small.  The archaeologists and scientists found great gold and a solid gold mask in Tut’s tomb.
