King Tutankhamun ruled over ancient Egypt during the New Kingdom, in the aftermath of his father — the revolutionary Akhenaten. He ruled from childhood and died young, at around 18, earning him the modern nickname of the boy king. It seems he died suddenly and unexpectedly, so was hastily buried in a tomb jam-packed with treasures.
