What we found in Ancient Egypt?
The ancient Egyptian King Tutankhamen has captured imaginations since the discovery of his entombed remains in 1922 by Howard Carter. The study of the artifacts left behind in Tutankhamen's tomb as well as his mummy provide insight into the life and status of this teen pharaoh and the Egyptian society he briefly ruled. Tutankhamen performed many significant acts during his brief reign as king. His father Amenhotep IV had previously abandoned the god Amun and other Egyptian deities to solely worship Aten. Amenhotep also changed his name to Akhenaten meaning "he who is beneficial to the Aten." Tutankhamen rejected this departure from tradition by leaving Amarna, the city Akhenaten built as a new religious capital, and returning to the traditional capital of Thebes to rededicate himself and his wife to the cult of Amun. Christened Tutankhaten (the living image of Aten) by his father, Tutankhamun changed his name to further distance himself from Akhenaten's deviation.
