Born Tutankhaten, King Tut, born in 1341 B.C, was the son of the ancient Pharaoh Akhenaten. The mother of King tut is not fully discovered, but it could be either Queen Nefertiti, the wife of Akhenaten, or a princess named Kiya. Being the only child and his Pharaoh father dying when he was around nine years old when he became the country leader.
After being the leader for around eight to nine years, Tutankhamun died at the age of eighteen. The cause of his death is not completely determined, but scientists suspect he had been assassinated, had a broken leg, or infected with various diseases, such as malaria. However, the cause of the death may be a combination of these causes. Why did I choose King Tutankhamun? I choose him because he had a very interesting life, little is really known about this ruler, even after explorers finding his tomb; in great condition in 1923, the life of King Tut is a mystery, which is why I was intrigued to choose this person. His reign wasn't similar to any reign before, or even to present day, which made me really wonder - why did he become king and what did he do? His age and reasons of becoming king made him famous and well-known today, and if he wasn't only 9 years old when he became the king, he probably wouldn't be as famous today.
