Who Was Tutankhamun?

• Tutankhamun was a boy pharaoh who ruled Egypt from about 1332 to 1323 BCE.
• He became king at around 9 years old and died mysteriously at just 18 or 19.
• Tut was part of the 18th Dynasty, during Egypt’s “New Kingdom” period.
• His reign was short, but important — he restored the old gods after his father, Akhenaten, had forced Egypt to worship only one god (Aten).

How Much Gold Was Inside?

• The most famous item is the solid gold burial mask, which weighs about 11 kilograms (24 pounds) of pure gold.
• The tomb was packed with over 5,000 treasures, many made of solid gold or covered in gold leaf.
• Just his inner coffin was also made of solid gold, weighing around 110 kilograms (240 pounds).
• In total, archaeologists estimate that hundreds of kilograms of gold were used in the objects from his tomb — worth tens of millions of dollars today (though its historical value is truly priceless!).
• During his period, Egypt wasnt even in its stronger period, it was relatively weak, yet they found all that, CAN YOU IMAGINE?????
