Converted to the worship of Amon, Tutankhamen orders the construction of a temple to the west of Tebas. Successor of Akhenaton, the young Pharaoh rises to the throne at 9 years of age and reigns until his dead; died with 18 years, from1335 to 1327 B.C. Tutankhamen was buried in the Valley of the Kings, in Tebas.
