what was King Tut religoin?

Answer 1

Dragonlord Warlock has given the most accurate answer, so far, however, there are several important things to remember about Tut.
His father was Armen Hotepk 4, who moved the Egyptian capital to a new site, built a whole new city and changed his name to Arkenhaten. He established a monotheistic religion which believed there was only 1 god, Ra the Sun God. There was also a great change in Egyptian art, including family scenes becoming commonplace, whereas prior to this, pharoahs/kings were portrayed alone. His first wife, Nefertiti, had 3 daughters, and Egyptian tradition meant no woman could inherit the throne, so upon Arkenhatens death, Tutenkhamun inherited, being a son by a minor wife. Tut was not old enough to rule, so the 'old' authorities used him as a puppet, whilst they abandoned the new capital, moved society back to Luxor and brought back the old Gods. Juat as Tut was coming of age to rule by himself, and possibly reinstate his fathers ideas, he died. When Howard Carter opened his tomb, many symbols of Ra were found there, and very few references to the other Gods, so it might be assumed that he, too, was a Ra worshipper.

Answer 2

There were many, many gods which were worshipped in ancient Egypt, such as Ra, Isis, Seth and Osirus. There was only one pharoah who insisted there was only one god, and that was Akhannattan. He believed that the sun disc, or the attan, was the only true god, and stopped financing all the other temples. It is believed he was assassinated, possibly by the priests of the god Ammun. He is believed to be either Tutankammun's father or brother, and was his immediate predecessor. Tut's original name was Tutankattan, but after Akhanattan's death, it was immediately changed to Tutankammun, to honor the god Ammun. He reinstated the former religions, or at least his advisors did, since he was only 10 when he ascended the throne.

The Egyptians of Tut's time believed that the earth originated from a great mound, which is what the pyramids were intended to represent, even though they were built long before Tut's time. They did not believe in a heaven or hell after death, only that the spirit continued to live as long as the person's body and name were remembered. So if a person's body was not properly mummified, or if they were not given proper rites, they could not reach the afterlife, which was basically a perfect version of Egypt. They were required to answer several questions before they were allowed to pass on. If they were not able to, or if they were found to be immoral, they would be tossed to a creature which resembled a combination of a hippo, crocodile and lion. To make sure their dead relatives were able to answer the questions correctly, the Egyptians would include the Book of the Dead in the tomb, as a sort of cheat sheet which gave the correct answers. This religion persisted well into the Roman times.

Answer 3

Tut - Tutankhamun (not Tutmoses!) followed officially the old established polytheistic religion of Egypt which at that time beleived that Amun-Ra/Re was the chief god.

His predecessor Akhenaten went against the priests and tradtion by establishing a monotheistic religion with only one god - Aten symbolized by the sun disk.

With his death the old traditions re-asserted themselves. Though only at the top. It's very doubtful that commoners were very much affected by Akhentan's religious change.

Tut grew up with the Aten religion but he returned to the old ways - whether by choice or force is speculative. His tomb contains nothing related to the Aten religion but keep in mind who buried him - the priests of the old religion. Tut could have remained a secret follower of Aten though really he was only 9 when he became pharoah so there probably wasn't much duplicity in his young naive mind.

Still recent discovries of hidden burials in Luxor may point to Tut wishing to bury his heretic relations. Whether this means he was a secret follower of Aten or simply a devoted family member is again speculative.

Answer 4

all I could find was this hope it helps

Splendour of Aten (Desroches-Noblecourt 114-115). Egyptian pharaohs had ther idiosyncrasies like all people, and were tolerated in the religious structure of Egypt as long as the structure itself remained. The culture of Egypt centered upon its polytheistic religion. Everything in the empire had its patron god, and all were ruled over by Amen-Re. Every moment of their lives and on into their graves, the Egyptian lived knowing that their godes were responsible for everything in the world around them. Amenophis III would pass on his reverence of the Aten to his son Amenophis IV, and in so doing would mark the beginning of the end of the Eighteenth dynasty.
