Since 1922, scientists around the world have made numerous strides in understanding the past life of King Tut. What fascinates you the most about The Boy King?

Only 1334-1325 BC kids will remember this

Wouldn’t clean his room. Wrecked the chariot. His grades were not the best.

Like most boy kings.

[emilycupcakegirl]

Omg I remember when Tut was pharaoh! I feel old now😅

[saqibshah]

Imagine being a labor worker giving workers water time to time while excavation of the grave and then u suddenly discover the greatest discovery of all time and then someone else takes credit for it
I feel bad for that waterboy who discovered that staircase

I bet he was a regular teenager and just wanted spicy memes and to share his snapcode.

I have been fascinated with ancient Egypt and her civilization since I was a teenager. Had a dream of going there someday but it never materialized.

[nacirema]

The 18th Dynasty is by far the most interesting period in ancient Egyptian history.

[gawayne]

Everyone wore eye makeup. It protected their eyes from the reflection of the sun on the sand

Thank you for the aerial view! I never realized that the tomb was in the middle of a bunch of huge sand piles. I always thought it was next to a town or something.

[pavanyellanti]

Yeah bro...Those were the days, where we played in the sandy streets of egypt😌😌

[parkerhedrick]

[harshmangalamverma]

That's interesting!
It's very good to tell you all that a lesson is based on the Ancient King Tut in the syllabus of class 11th CBSE Board (English Literature )

[hellothisislilac]

Loved it! More videos like this please ❤️

The fact that Tut's reign wasn't listed in most of the Egyptian's history books could be why his tomb was never ransacked like the rest.

[davepowell]

130 walking sticks, his club foot and the extensive boomerang collection would suggest that the reality was different !

[human]

I feel so old now 😔, I used to visit and gave him food 😞

[neltalty]

I can't even imagine that he was a king at the age of nine

[eshan]

Fascinating to see all those objects...they are thousands of years old!
