Tutankhamun ( Name Nebkheperre ) is an ancient Egyptian king who reigned 1347-1339 BC , who was born with the name of the king Tutankhaten Akhenaten and Kiya . He spent his childhood as a young prince in Armana . After his brother died Semenkhere , Tut became Pharaoh at the age of 9 years , married Ankhesenamun slightly older than him , as well as a last king in the 18th dynasty .

Tut 's father , King Ankhenaten , is a revolutionary overhaul runs along the Egyptian queen , Nefertiti . Ankhenaten is depicted as a pharaoh whose shape ' feminine ' with distended bellies , elongated heads and pudgy face . Nefertiti 's own and not of the nobility , but she is very beautiful and smart extraordinary to an advisor of her husband .

Ankhenaten and Nefertiti left Egypt gods of more than 1000 's ( which is headed by his god - god, Amun - Ra ) and switch to the single god Aten - Ra is the Sun that has shaped a lot of hands , moved the capital to Armana , build ' Special funeral ' and Aten temples in the east of the Nile ( usually funerals and temples built in the west of the Nile ) .

After Tut ascended the throne , in the first two years of his rule as Pharaoh , he moved back center of power from Thebes to Amarna , open all the temples of Amun - Ra who had abandoned Egypt to restore confidence in their old gods , and change its name and his wife , as well as announcing straying father .

At that time there was a guy ( Hasek ) who is an advisor for the Tut , ie Ay , who was formerly in the reign Ankhenaten also served as Prime Minister of the young . I think he and Horemheb anti - military commander with dynasty 18 is what affects Tut Egypt in order to restore confidence to Amun - Ra .

Not surprisingly, according Tut , Tut himself as the true leader is not great or outstanding dashing . Tut precisely described as an impoverished young man who inherited genetic disorders from inbreeding continuous . He has brittle bones , even one of his toes are not reinforced . In his tomb contained 130 sticks that never used them visible . Tut was depicted in his paintings of everyday activities such as archery and boomerang throwing while sitting in his chair .

Recent research also suggests that Tut 's death likely came from a broken left foot infections and acute malaria who had been attacked many times .

Tut's really just a weak teenager wearing a crown studded with uraeus ( snake capable of spitting fire and told peck thousands of times ) , carrying sticks and whips , and sitting as the ' son of god ' .

But like his father that ' feminine ' but successfully married to a beautiful and intelligent woman - Queen Nefertiti , Tut was also married to a woman who is famous for her beauty and power , who was born with the name Ankhesenamun Ankhesenpaaten .

Ankhesen is the daughter of Queen Nefertiti and Ankhenaten . He was touted as a master craftsman father and mother . In many paintings , seen Ankhesen is gentle and loving girl . Unfortunately , Ankhesen also told to have a weak uterus as a result of falling from a horse . In Tut's tomb was found two mummified fetuses suspected Ankhesen children and Tut who died in the womb .

Tut and Ankhesen described as a loving young couple ( Hasek ) one of the paintings depict Tut who stand by leaning on his staff , received a bunch of flowers on her husband's proffered Ankhesen . On the coffin of Tut also found the remains of a necklace of flowers suspected as the last administration Ankhesen .

When Tut died , Ankhesen at the mercy of his enemies , Ay and General Horemheb . He tried to write a letter to the chief enemy of Egypt at that time , the Hittite king , to woo his son .

Then the - Hittite king also sent one of his sons to Egypt , but the prince was killed while on his way to Egypt !

After that Ay - preacher once the prime minister and advisor - Ankhesen married as a second wife and become the next Pharaoh !  , Ankhesen later died at a young age .

Ay first wife is actually a cousin Ankhesen Tey - because he is the nephew of Ankhenaten . Tey is an ambitious woman who actually was loved and loved Ay , but has big ambitions to make his descendants as Pharaoh .

Only after 4 years of reign , Ay died . May not be longer than Ankhesen death .

After Ay died , Horemheb ruled even though he has no royal blood . He died without heirs so that the next Pharaoh fall into the hands of his fellow commanders - Ramses I who started the history of the 19th dynasty of Egypt and the people who are trying hard to erase history of the 18th dynasty cause of hate their apostasy .
