ツタンカーメン (Tutankhamun) was an ancient Egyptian pharaoh who ruled during the 18th dynasty, around 1332-1323 BCE. He is best known for his richly furnished tomb, discovered in 1922 by archaeologist Howard Carter in the Valley of the Kings. The tomb contained numerous artifacts, including a famous gold mask, which have provided valuable insights into ancient Egyptian culture and burial practices. Despite his young age at ascension, around eight years old, and his short reign of about ten years, Tutankhamun's legacy has had a lasting impact on Egyptology. His tomb's discovery sparked worldwide interest in ancient Egypt and highlighted the significance of royal tombs, such as those of other pharaohs like Ramses II and Seti I.
