The man was originally named Tutankhaten. He later changed his name
to
Tutankhamen, or Tutankhamun.
Tutankhamen was king of Egypt from 1333
- 1323 BC. He died when he was only 19 years old.
London's Tutankhamen exhibition in
November 2007 got Cairo all excited and the Egyptians decided to get
the mask off of Tutankhamun's face and put his mummified body on
display in Luxor. Long time no see.
Howard Carter
was the archaeologist who found Tutankhamen's tomb.
The tomb was found
in the Valley of the Kings in Luxor.
