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 Nefertiti and Akhenaten, whom he eventually succeeded.
Upon his ascension as pharaoh, Tutankhamun acquired his father's Apple of Eden, known to him as "the Aten"; the focus of Akhenaten's monotheistic religios worship of Aten.
Instead of continuing his father's monotheistic beliefs, Tutankhamun instead decided to restore the old Egyptian gods to prominence, and passed the artifact to the priests of Amun, believing they would use it to maintain Ma'at; order and justice for the Egyptian people.
In 38 BCE Tutunkhamun's spirit, alongside those of his parents and the Great Pharaoh 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.
Trivia
- Tutankhamun owned an iron dagger made from a meteorite.
