Tutankhamun   (/ ˌ t uː t ən k ɑː ˈ m uː n /; [3]   alternatively spelled with   Tutenkh-,   -amen, [4]   -amon) was an Egyptian   pharaoh   of the   18th dynasty(ruled c. 1332—1323 BC in the   conventional chronology), during the period of   Egyptian history   known as the   New Kingdom   or sometimes the New Empire Period. He has, since the discovery of his intact tomb, been referred to   colloquially   as   King Tut. His original name,   Tutankhaten, means "Living Image of   Aten", while Tutankhamun means "Living Image of   Amun". In   hieroglyphs, the name Tutankhamun was typically written Amen-tut-ankh, because of a scribal custom that placed a divine name at the beginning of a phrase to show appropriate reverence. [5]   He is possibly also the   Nibhurrereya   of the   Amarna letters, and likely the 18th dynasty king Rathotis who, according to   Manetho, an ancient historian, had reigned for nine years—a figure that conforms with   Flavius Josephus's version of Manetho's   Epitome. [6] The 1922 discovery by   Howard Carter   of Tutankhamun's   nearly intact tomb, funded by   Lord Carnarvon, [7] [8]   received worldwide press coverage. It sparked a renewed public interest in   ancient Egypt, for which   Tutankhamun's mask, now in the   Egyptian Museum, remains the popular symbol. Exhibits of artifacts from his tomb have toured the world. In February 2010, the results of   DNA tests   confirmed that he was the son of the mummy found in the tomb   KV55, believed by some to be   Akhenaten. His mother was his father's sister and wife, whose name is unknown but whose remains are positively identified as "The Younger Lady" mummy found in   KV35. [9]   The "mysterious" deaths of a few of those who excavated Tutankhamun's tomb has been popularly attributed to the   curse of the pharaohs. [Delivery time 7 - 10 working days.
