Tutankhamun, also known as King TUT, was a legendary boy king of ancient Egypt who ruled from 1332 to 1323 BC. He is one of the most famous pharaohs of all time and his tomb, discovered in 1922 by British archaeologist Howard Carter, is one of the most iconic archaeological finds of all time. Tutankhamun's reign was short-lived and his legacy is largely defined by the wealth of artifacts found in his tomb, which provide an invaluable insight into the life and culture of ancient Egypt.
