Tutankhamen Discussion

Post answers to the following:

1. “King Tut” is very well known within pop culture. However, you’ve now learned that Tutankhamen was a relatively unknown pharaoh and his present fame is mostly due to the 1922 discovery of his tomb and its pristine condition. Has this changed your perception of the young pharaoh? Please explain your answer.
2. Respond to at least one classmate’s post by offering additional details or ideas, a different perspective, or links to interesting, relevant articles or websites. Conclude with a question or new idea to further stimulate the discussion.

classmate response ( King Tut’s unremarkable contributions to ancient Egypt definitely surprised me. Firstly, I had no idea that King Tut died at only 18 years old, and I also was not aware that his death may have involved foul play. Clearly, he did not have much time to make contributions before he passed away at such a young age. Regardless, I think that Howard Carter’s discovery of King Tut’s tomb is definitely remarkable and deserves the recognition and attention that it has received. King Tut and his tomb have provided a further glimpse into the mummification process and the ways in which Egyptians honored loved ones after death, particularly pharaohs. In this sense, King Tut still plays an important role in the history of ancient Egypt and our understanding of their culture today.)
