TUTANKHAMEN
14TH CENTURY BC

The man was originally named Tutankhaten. He later changed his name to Tutankhamen, or Tutankhamun.

Tutankhamen was king of Egypt from 1333 - 1323 BC. Trouble was, he died when he was only 19 years old.

Howard Carter was the archaeologist who found Tutankhamen's tomb.

Now get this.

London's Tutankhamen exhibition in November 2007 got Cairo all excited and the Egyptians decided to get the mask off of Tutankhamun's face and put his mummified body on display in Luxor. Talk about long time no see.

The tomb was found in the Valley of the Kings in Luxor. And here is the map.
