is also known as King Tut. He was
an Egyptian pharaoh of the 18th dynasty.
Tut was not the most important king, he is
well known because of his tomb, which
contains beautiful treasures.
The image in the first slide is the true face of
Tut. This silicone-skinned bust is billed as
the most accurate forensic reconstruction
ever of ancient Egypt's Pharaoh Tutankhamun.
It was based on recent 3-D CT scans of
the mummy of the "boy king, who is
believed to have been about 19 when he died
some 3,300 years ago.

This was the traditional symbol that
meant kingship. Another famous item of
King Tutankhamun is the funerary mask.
This also was made of solid gold and
was inlaid with lapis lazuli, cornelian,
quartz, obsidian, turquoise and colored
glass. King Nebkheperuru Tutankhamuns

containers.
The calcite Canopic chest had stoppers in
the form of the king. There were four
