    There were many pharaohs of Egypt including, Tut, Zozer, and Khufu, but there are some that need to be recognized. The first one is a pharaoh named Menes who brang Egypt together, then there was Hatshepsut who expanded borders and sent out explorers to trade with others, and finally there was Akhenaten who changed art and religion in egypt and may have started monotheism.

    Have you ever took time to think about what happen to to King Tut? To think of how he died at such a young age. I think he was killed by Aye, his army general. Aye could have killed him to get the throne, to be the Pharaoh of Egypt. That would be because he ended up married to Anka so he could become king. I also think that Aye and Tey, his first wife teamed up so they could rule together.…

    The most famous pharaoh in the history of Egypt was not famous because he was the best or most powerful king. King Tutankhamun was so famous for two reasons. The first reason was because of his extreme youth when he became pharaoh. He was only six when his father, Akhenaten had died and he earned the title of the Boy King. The second reason was that in a time where grave robbery was common, archaeologist howard Carter had the good fortune to discover Tut’s tomb undisturbed.…

    The New Kingdom was the time of the warrior pharaohs and the eighteenth dynasty. Many well-known pharaohs and other important figures such as Tutankhamun and Nefertiti came from this impressive dynasty. A lesser-known pharaoh, also of the eighteenth dynasty, ruled Ancient Egypt before both figures but had greater significance in terms of their rule. The typical thought of a pharaoh is a man who is descendent of the royal family and is believed to be the direct link and descendent of the gods of Ancient Egypt. He is perfection in the people’s eyes and is wholly worshiped as he brings prosperity across the land when his reign goes well.…

Examining Ancient Egypt’s political history specifically separating the reign of Tutankhamen and political conditions of the time, it can be interpreted that the young pharaoh had two subjects Ay and Horemheb which were…
