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

Reign as pharaoh

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

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, 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]

Behind the scenes

Although he is portrayed as being significantly taller than Bayek and powerful, the real Tutankhamun was a physically disabled teenager with a spindly build.
