GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

Detailed explanation-1: -Tutankhamun (or Tutankhamen; /ˌtuːtənkɑːˈmuːn, ˈkɑːmɛn/; Ancient Egyptian: twt-ꜥnḫ-jmn; c. 1341 BC – c. 1323 BC) was the antepenultimate pharaoh of the Eighteenth Dynasty of ancient Egypt. He ascended to the throne around the age of nine and reigned until his death around the age of nineteen.

Detailed explanation-2: -General Horemheb had control of the armies and, after the short reign of Ay, would rule himself as the last pharaoh of the 18th Dynasty. Later tradition regarded him as the successor to Amenhotep III, ignoring his four predecessors, all of whom were linked with the Amarna period.

Detailed explanation-3: -Why is Tutankhamun so famous? The reason that Tutankhamun is so well known today is that his tomb, containing fabulous treasures, was found early this century (1922) by British archaeologists Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon.
