King Tutankhamun was buried in the Valley of the Kings and his tomb was discovered by British archaeologist, Howard Carter in 1922.
The discovery of King Tut's Tomb was a rich discovery. In fact, it was one of the richest discoveries ever found. King Tutankhamun's coffin was made out of solid gold, and his 3,000 year old mummified remains were very well preserved. In fact, young Tutankhamun body underwent a lengthy process to prepare his body for mummification.
The body is cleaned and anointed with liniments to help with drying out the remains before embalming, wrapping with many layers of cloth and using paint, and jewelry to pay respects and follow the established rituals given to the mummy of a God king. Over the years investigators had X-rayed Tut's remains, and made many attempts at determining the cause of the young rulers death. Finally in 2005, scientists used a CT machine to capture over 1700 images of the Boy Kings remains. After careful analysis of the CT scans scientist found extensive damage to Tut's left thigh bone. It is believed that King Tutankhamun had badly broken his leg before he died, and it is highly likely that his leg became severely infected. Over the years, Scientists now believe the the Boy king suffered from physical impairments that were likely inherited.

An example of that could be illustrated by the face, which has a golden touch to it but is seen to be roughly all turning brown. These decorative features were also seen on other mummy coffins, such as on the coffin of Tutankhamun, found on the Valley of the Kings in Dynasty 18 (Stockstad 120-2). Tutankhamun’s case also demonstrated similar golden tones being used, which as a result of aging varnished and fainted in some areas to a darker golden- brownish and yellowish shade (Stockstad 123,125).
Ca. 1323 BCE. Both artworks are from the same location, Thebes, but there are some differences when both works are compared. The Coffin of Tutankhamen belonged to a very young unimportant king who died at the young age of 18, and was closely related to Akhenaton. The works is much more rich in value when compared to the coffin of Tentkhonsu, it was found with rich gold jewelry and semiprecious stones. The vast differences could hint different social class rankings and also how men were superior than women during this

He was thought to be originally named Tutankhaten which means “living image of the Aten.” It is also believed that he is the grandson of Amenhotep the third, the ninth king of Egypt.

There are many wonders that we have not found out of King Tut, one of the most intriguing ones is how did the young pharaoh die. Many hypothesis have been made, but will the truth ever come out. King Tutankhamen was found to be in a very early age when we died, how could all of a sudden be told as dead. He had many injuries that were confirmed during an autopsy. Some of these injuries were a cut on Tut’s cheek, Tut’s rib cage was missing, and a fragment of bone was found in his skull due to a hit to the head. You can clearly tell that all those damages could have been caused by someone. All this evidence points out that it was Queen Ankhesenamun who murdered the Pharaoh Tutankhamen.
His exact age is not known. At that age Thutmose III could not rule the great nation of Egypt properly, so a regent was to be appointed (Dell 48). Picking a regent for a pharaoh is an important task. This person had to rule Egypt for Thutmose until he was old and mature enough to take control and lead the country on his own.... ...
In Xian China in the years 221-210 BCE the first emperor Qin Shi Huang ruled over China somewhere in between these years he ordered that his tomb was to be built and his soldiers, wife, and any other people to be killed and placed in the tomb. But at that time there was war and conflict and the population was small so every life was valuable, so instead he ordered his architects and artists to make over 8000 soldiers, 130 chariots, 520 hours and 150 calves. These warriors are made out of clay and their weapons made out of bronze. It is said that they were placed in the emperor's tomb to protect him in the afterlife.

King Tut was an Egyptian pharaoh of the 18th dynasty who reigned from about 1348 to 1339 BC. His name can be spelled a variety of ways including Tutankhamen, Tutankhamon, or Tutankhamun. There is an enigma, though, surrounding his name. Researchers have no idea where it came from because his parents are unknown. He became king during the period of readjustment that followed the death of his father-in-law, the pharaoh Akhenaton. The boy king married Akhenaton’s third daughter to strengthen his claim to the throne and took the name Tutankhaton meaning “gracious of life is Aton.'; After less than three years of residence at Akhetaton he changed his name to Tutankhamen. Because Tut was only nine or ten when he became pharaoh the direction of the state was devolved onto an older official named Ay. ( He succeeded Tut when he died.)

Peace was brought to Egypt during his reign as the worship of Amon, abandoned under Akhenaton, was restored and Thebes, the city sacred to Amon, was again made Egypt's capitol.
When you hear of historical figures that “conquered” a certain time period, you think of barbarians, spartans, or other gruesome, battle-tested men. While William I, the King of England and Duke of Normandy, was also nicknamed the “Conqueror”, he achieved success reigning over his time period in very different ways than that of Genghis Khan or Alexander the Great. Regardless of his path to success, William I played a huge part in the religious evolution of England. Using his advantageous leadership position, William I was able to be prosperous for many decades. His illustrious career is historical proof that a country does not need to be overtaken by brute force alone. William the Conqueror was a very commendable leader, and he used his knowledge, leadership, and military prowess to conquer multiple countries for almost the entirety of his life.

Tuthmosis II and Hatshepsut had a daughter together named Neferure. Hatshepsut’s father died when she was very young, probably around 15 years old. Tuthmosis II took over, but only ruled for about three or four years, when he died from what is believed to be a skin disease. After his death, Tuthmosis the III, Hatshepsut’s stepson, was still too young to rule, which led to her ruling as Queen’s Regent. Her charismatic personality and group of followers led to her becoming pharaoh about seven years into Tuthmosis III’s rule.

Soldier’s Home by Ernest Hemingway (1925) compares to the story The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman (1892) similarly and differently.
