Tutankhamun (c. 1341 BCE – c. 1323 BCE) was a pharaoh of the Eighteenth dynasty of Egypt, during the Amarna Period. He was the son of Akhenaten, whom he eventually succeeded.[1]
Biography[edit | edit source]
Reign as pharaoh[edit | edit source]
Upon his ascension as pharaoh, Tutankhamun inherited his father's Apple of Eden, known to him as "the Aten", the focus of Akhenaten's monotheistic religious worship and a physical manifestation of Aten. Instead of continuing his father's monotheism, Tutankhamun decided to restore the old Egyptian gods to prominence and passed the artifact to the priests of Amun, entrusting them to use it so as to maintain Ma'at, the Egyptians' concept of order and justice.[2] At some point, the boy-king acquired a pair of daggers with blades made from meteorite ore. After his death, the weapons were buried with him.[3]
Legacy[edit | edit source]
In 34 BCE, Tutankhamun's spirit alongside those of his father and Ramesses II were seemingly returned to the world of the living by the God's Wife of Amun Isidora, who had possession of the Aten.[3] After the Hidden One Bayek of Siwa accessed the pharaoh's tomb in the Valley of the Kings, he entered a simulation of the Duat, an aspect of the Egyptian afterlife. There, he eventually met Tutankhamun's spirit and defeated it in combat.[2]
Over 3 millennia after Tutankhamun's death, following a temporary halt in excavations due to World War I, the British archaeologist Howard Carter unearthed his tomb in 1922. The next year, laborers at the excavation site discovered a secondary tunnel leading to an new network of chambers and passageways.[4]

Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]
Tutankhamun is a historical figure whose seemingly-reanimated mummy appears in the 2018 downloadable expansion The Curse of the Pharaohs for the 2017 video game Assassin's Creed: Origins. In-game, his cartouche is written to include both his prenomen or throne name of "Nebkheperura", which translates to "The possessor of the manifestation of Ra", and his nomen or given name of "Tut-ankh-imen", which also had the epithet "heqa iunu-shemau" meaning "ruler of the Heliopolis of Upper Egypt". Although he is portrayed as being significantly taller than Bayek and powerful, the real Tutankhamun was a physically disabled teenager with a spindly build.[1]
