TUTANKHAMUN
Tutankhamun is one of the most famous pharaohs in Egypt’s history. King Tut was only 9 years old when he became pharaoh. Ten years later, at the age of 19, he died. In 1922, his tomb was re-discovered. In it, archeologists found over 3500 artefacts in Tutankhamun's grave, including his famous golden mask. His premature death and the so-called ‘Curse of Tutankhamun’ still remain a point of debate for scientists and non-scientists alike.
