Tutankhamen

Tutankhamen was the twelfth pharaoh of the 18th Dynasty, who ruled all of Egypt from 914 to around 905 B.C. He succeeded his great-uncle Ay, and was succeeded by Horemheb. Not much is known about this pharaoh, though he is likely the most famous pharaoh in modern culture.

Tutankhamen was the son of Akhenaten, who was the son of Amenhotep III, who was himself the son of Thutmose IV. In fact, this line of ancestors stretches directly back to the founder of the dynasty, Ahmose I. He had no children who lived to adulthood.

In 923 B.C., Akhenaten died and passed the throne to his infant son Tutankhamen. Until 914 B.C., his great-uncle Ay would rule as pharaoh. When Tutankhamen was 9 or 10 years old, Ay died and Tutankhamen was forced to become king. In his short reign of nine years, he made reforms and ended the Aten-based religion that his father had started, and so his reign concluded the Amarna period. Tutankhamen died in his late teens, and Horemheb began to rule Egypt.
