King Tut is said to be the son of Ikhnaton , the man who made a revolutionary change in the Egyptian Ancient State when he founded a monashatic religion and worshiped one God under the name of "Aton" which made the Priest of old religions in Egypt worshiping Amon and others very angry , not that only Ikhnaton transferred the capital of the state then Tibia "Luxor" to Harmana "Bani Swaif" both in upper Egypt and also changed the life of the kings then
Ikhnaton then died in unknown circumstances ,some said that the Priests and the army killed him as Egypt transferred in his era from a strong kingdom with borders to Syria to a worshiping peaceful nation
The heir of Ikhnaton's throne was Tut , who was only 10 years or something took the lead in Egypt in a terrible time of conspiracies against him and the rest of his family
He died young and was buried in the valley of the kings , the reasons of death according to the last year Egyptian sceintists researches that he was badly hurt in some sort of a battle but still some historians perfer the royal conspiracy theory that the highest priest in Egypt got rid of him ,as after Tut's death this priest took the rule and married Tut's widow by force to take a legal position , Tut's widow died shortly she was young too
after that that priest king erased every single record about Tut and his dad
No one knew much about this family in Egypt except when Carter found Tut 's tomb in the Valley of the kings from a century ago
King Tut's tomb is the only complete tomb full of Pharaoh's treasures that weren't stolen , a golden treasure .
Most of the treasures of that tomb are shown in Cairo Muesum right now King Tut and his treasures are going to visit Baharin before coming home

He was a very young pharaoh of Egypt, thus the nickname, "the boy king."
He married at 13, had a kid, and lived a good life until he died unexpectedly at age 19 or so. The mystery of his death has confused Egyptologists, archaeologists, and other experts until now; some now say that he was sick and that killed him (earlier, some assumed he was murdered).

Arkenhaten (aka Amen Hotepk IV) & Nefartiti left the old capital of Egypt, Luxor, and established a new one, as well as establishing the first monotheistic religion (Ra worship). Unfortunately the couple only had daughters, and so upon his death power went to his son by a lesser unknown wife.
This son was Tutenkhamun, and he was only a young boy, so power was controlled by others around him. They abandoned the new city, returned him to Luxor, and had Arkenhatens cartouche removed from all statues, branding him a heretic. Young Tut died before reaching adulthood, and historians speculate he may have been killed to stop him re-introducing his fathers ways, though this is purely conjecture.
Tut was buried with a large array of Ra-ist icons in his tomb, which was discovered by Lord Caernarfons funded expedition in the late 1920s, by Howard Carter. Many of the expedition died within a matter of years of opening Tuts grave, leading to rumours of a curse.

I think you mean Tutankamun. Son of Aken Aten, and a pharaoh in the later days of anchient egyptian times. He did nothing special, but we have the most thorough record of his life through the finding of his tomb about 100 years ago.

Ayoung egyptian pharoh whose burial tomb was one the most preserved of pharonic mummies ever found. Discovered by a British Lord in the late 1920's early 1930's, King Tut died young and relatively poor for a pharoh but his tomb was not raided and desecrated by tresure/antiquities robbers in Egypt, hence, the spectacular turnout here (US) in the New York for his musuem exhibit and also earlier in the U.K.

He is well known for being called the "boy king {or pharoh}"
He's tomb was found in the 1920s intact {in other words raiders hadn't found it} and had a ton of tresure in it.
BTW, it's actually spelled tutankhamun
