King Tutankhamun, also known as King Tut, was a pharaoh who ruled Egypt from 1332 to 1323 B.C. He ascended the throne of Egypt as a child, when he was eight or nine years old, and was guided by several key figures, including Ay, the Grand Vizier and possibly Tut's maternal grandfather, and Horemheb, the commander-in-chief of the military.
Tut's most important achievement in life was the restoration of the cult of Amun-Ra and the return of Egypt to polytheism, reversing the religious reforms of his father, Akhenaten.
King Tut died around 1324 B.C. at the age of 18 or 19, but there are many theories about how he died. There is a small bone fragment on the inside of his skull that initially led some historians to believe that King Tut was murdered by a blow to the back of his head. However, this damage could have been caused during the mummification process or during the excavation of his mummy, and most experts agree that he was not murdered.
