Tutankhamun?

Question

Does anyone know:

Achievements and Legacy of King Tut?

Answer 1

he inspired steve martin to do a great song about him.

Answer 2

I'm not really sure, but isn't the only reason he's famous because his tomb was discovered intact?

Just Guessing! =D

Answer 3

That he was named after a very rare and valuable ancient horn (toot-uncommon). Just kidding!

Answer 4

He was the son of Nefertiti, who is famed for her beauty, and her husband, who changed Egypts belief system during their reign. Hes famous because his tomb was found undisturbed by Howard Carter. His tomb was also unfinished which leads many to believe he was murdered and his burial was rushed. He was NOT murdered. He got injured in a hunting accident and died slowly and painfully. As for his achievements.. there arent many. He was so young he didnt have time to do much..

Answer 5

Well, nothing really, as there seems to be scanty records of what he did, if anything

Answer 6

there are few facts available.

one thing that is "sure" is that he returned Egypt's culture to the traditional Egyptian religion and away from monotheism.

Answer 7

He was very young when he died (or was killed - hole in the back of his head...) so he didnt have time to accomplish much.

He did manage to have built one modest tomb in the Valley of the Kings, but had it stuffed to the hilt with fabulous stuff.

His legacy is certainly one that began thousands of years after his death, when in the 1920's Howard Carter   discovered his tomb and it was the most wonderful single opening into the life of an Egyptian king.  Further a legend was born inasmuch as people believed the people who opened the tomb were cursed and sure enough, a bunch of them died shortly after.

I have attached a photograph of some of his famous loot.

(I was in his tomb in the 60's)

Answer 8

Um all I remember is he was a child emperor, like 14 I think. He had many wives, and he was a realy good chariot racer. He died young and theres a curse on his tumb. I dont think he really did much in the line of great acheivements.

Why not just google it and get something wrong, rather then waiting for someone to give you info that could be wrong?
