Ancient Egypt

 

 King Tutankhamen

 

One of the most well known pharohs that ruled over Egypt was a ten-year old boy called Tutankhamen. He died - possibly murdered - before he turned twenty. During his short life as a king, he rebuilt temples at Karnak and other sacred sites destroyed by his wicked uncle, Akhenaten. But he accomplished little else.

Many scientists and experts now believe that Tutankhamen was just a puppet manipulated by the strong and powerful Bishops at Thebes. If the treasure for Tutankhamen's tomb had not survived, Tutankhamen would be all but forgotten today.
