King
Tutankhamen's ancient
burial mask.When King Tut died at what was thought to be in his late
teens, this is a picture of his ancient burial mask. King
Tutankhamen was a young rulerand was killed because he made a decision
for the better of his country. He became pharoah when he was about
twelve years old. His tomb, which contained this burial mask, was not
discovered until 1922 (which was more then 33 centuries later!)
by Howard Carter. King Akhenaton kept the shrines of the god Osiris and
others closed, but when King Tut opened them, King Akhenaton said to
had killed him!
