Tutankhamun and Ancient Egypt

The video explores the life and legacy of Tutankhamun, an Egyptian pharaoh who gained modern fame after his tomb was discovered by Howard Carter in 1922. Tutankhamun, born as Tutankhaten, reversed his father Akhenaten's religious reforms and became pharaoh at a young age. Despite health issues, he ruled for about ten years. His unexpected death at 19 led to his burial in a hastily prepared tomb, which remained largely intact for over 3,000 years. The discovery of his tomb provided unprecedented insights into ancient Egyptian life and sparked global interest in Egyptology.
