Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -King Tutankhamun (Tutankhamen or simply King Tut) ruled Egypt as pharaoh for 10 years until his death at age 19, around 1324 B.C. Though his rule was notable for reversing the religious reforms of his father Akhenaten, Tutankhamun’s legacy was largely negated by his successors.
Detailed explanation-2: -Next, Carter opened the burial chamber. The room contained a large golden shrine, or box, that filled almost the entire space. Inside it-all nested within one another-were three other shrines, a stone sarcophagus, three golden coffins, and finally, the mummy of Tutankhamun.
