King Tutankhamun was an Egyptian ruler who was thought to have been in power at the end of the 18th Dynasty from 1341 B.C, up until his death in 1324 B.C aged 19. Despite being Egyptian royalty, the popularity of the young Pharaoh only arose on a global scale more than 3,000 years after his death. This was as the result of exploration of the various royal burial grounds by Europeans. The fascination with Tutankhamun as we know today didn’t necessarily stem from the king himself but more so from his Tomb. Tutankhamun’s Tomb was discovered in 1922 almost completely intact in the Valley of the Kings, Luxor, by English archaeologist and Egyptologist Howard Carter.
