Tutankhamun is a pharaoh who lived in Egypt over 3,000 years ago.

He came to the throne when he was about nine and he died mysteriously when he was only 18 or 19.

There are not many traces left of his short reign. We know very little about him.

So why did Tutankhamun become the most famous pharaoh?

It’s because of the huge treasures found in his tomb in 1922; one of the biggest archaeological discoveries of all time.
