In Search Of... Season 3 # 24, King Tut

3,000 years ago a nine-year-old boy was crowned king of Egypt. Because the Pyramids have been graves of kings and were plundered by robbers the kings were buried in the Valley of Kings. In Nov. 1922 the untouched grave of King Tut had been found where everything was catalogued. His death has contributed to one of the most important religious developments in history. 

Akhenaton, his predecessor, had introduced monotheism which threatened the Egyptian priests, who belonged to the post powerful body in the Egyptian society. Tut’s death in young age might have been a result of his decision to follow Akhenaton‘s believe in one god.
