what gods did king tut worship?

Answer 1

I am guessing the Egyptian Gods, in the vein of Horus, Osiris, Isis....I may be wrong though

Answer 2

King Tut's original name was not Tutankhamun. His predecessor, Akhenaten, started monotheism and outlawed the worshipping of the pantheon of Egyptian gods. He wanted everyone to worship Aten, the sun disk. Tut's birth name was Tutankhaten to honor this new god.

Akhenaten, whose original name was Amenhotep, kicked the bucket when Tut was around nine years old. Many people now believe he was Tut's father.

The young prince inherited a kingdom in turmoil. A lot of people, especially the priests, were really ticked off and scared that they couldn't worship properly. Many were afraid the gods would become angry.

The Aten movement was thrown out a few years into the boy's reign, and Akhenaten's name was erased/defaced from everything.This was seriously bad juju for the Egyptians, because the ancient Egyptians built the pyramids, monoliths, etc. so their names would last on through eternity. They thought this helped their "ka" or spirit.

So. The short answer to your question is that Tut worshiped Aten until he was around eleven, then went back to the old Egyptian ways. As with other polytheistic people, Tut accorded all the gods due respect, but would have saved his major prayers to the gods who were most important to him. Osiris, Horus and Amun Ra, or Ra, would have been most important to him. Prayers to Set, god of war, would have been important in times of war.

There are so many Egyptian gods that it's hard to keep track of. There is even a god for the setting sun!

I hope this answered your question!

Answer 3

He built many temples devoted to the true sun god, Amun-Ra, after his father had died. Akhenaten, his father, is the so called "heretic" pharoah who tried to eliminate polytheism and instate worship of a monotheistic God, the Aten (the Sun Disk god).

Tut was likely a puppet of Grand Vizier Aye and Chief General Horemheb (both of whom would succeed Tut as pharaoh), who likely pressed Tut into restoring the old polytheistic ways.

Answer 4

During his childhood- Aten

During his reign- Traditional gods

Tut's father, Ankenaten, changed the Egyptian religion to that of monotheism. When Tut took the throne at the age of about 9, his advisors changed the religion back.

Answer 5

They worshiped a variety of Gods, since they were polytheistic: Set, Anubis, Osiris, Isis, Horus, and others. Egypt also went through a period of monotheism when Akhenaten (aka Amenhotep III) restructured Egyptian religion to worship one God, called Aten (or Aton) to be the supreme Deity.

Answer 6

Since the Egyptians were polytheistic, he probably would have worshipped all of the Egyptian gods. Pharaohs were also considered gods, so other Egyptians would have worshipped King Tutankhamen as well.

Answer 7

Mostly Amun-Ra.

Note that Tutankhamun gave himself the name Tutankhamun to signify his religion.

Answer 8

Amen, or Amen-Ra - he was a religious reformer and wanted to convert Egypt to monotheism. His flu name Tutankhamen meant He-Who-Lives-in-Amen

Answer 9

the scorpion king
