Tutankhamun, also known as King Tut, ruled during Egypt’s 18^th Dynasty from 1332 BC to 1323 BC. Some refer to him as the Boy King since he was just 9 years old when he came to power. Studies of his remains indicate that Tutankhamun was plagued with health problems, which likely led to his early demise at the age of 18. Upon his death, an elaborate mask was designed to cover his face. As was the tradition with pharaohs, his tomb was filled with thousands of treasures to aid in the transition to the afterlife. In 1922, British archeologist Howard Carter uncovered the tomb in what many consider to be the greatest discovery in history.
