7. Name of Museum Introduction Back to Room 1 The tomb that King Tut was placed in was not the tomb that was made for him. King Tut or Tutankhamun became king in the year 1361 B.C., when he was nine. He was a very unimportant ruler. He died at age 18 in the year 1352 B.C. When he died, he was placed in a tomb with four rooms. The tomb was filled with many treasure, more than 5,000 objects. King Tut was buried in the Valley of the Kings, a burial place close to Thebes in Southern Egypt. His tomb lay undiscovered until the year 1922 when a British archeologist by the name of Howard Carter unearthed his tomb. Howard Carter had been looking for Tut’s tomb for six years before he found it. King Tut’s tomb was one of the few remaining tombs at the Valley of the Kings that had not been unearthed yet. When they opened the tomb, it was filled with many religious and artistic items. The Ancient Egyptian were an important and advanced civilization because there are at least three strong examples of religion in King Tut’s tomb.

First, King Tut was believed to be a god by his subjects. King Tut was believed to be the son of the god Ra and he was reunited with Ra after he died which shows strong religious beliefs in gods. Second, King Tut’s tomb was believed by his subjects to be a bridge to the afterlife. The afterlife was strongly believed in by ancient Egyptians and of 5,000 placed in his tomb such as statues, furniture, jewelry, clothing, dishes, cups, and food to ensure that King Tut could entertain in the afterlife. Lastly, passages from the Book of the Dead were written on the walls of King Tut’s tomb. The Book of the Dead had lots of prayers, passwords, and spells in the book and the necessary ones were written on the walls of King Tut’s tomb to ensure that he could get into the afterlife without harm and confusion.
