EZZ: We are ready to
go inside the tomb.

Oh, my God, wow!

NARRATOR: In a newly opened,

3,000-year-old tomb,

archaeologists investigate
the last mystery of

the boy king, Tutankhamun.

Wow.

NARRATOR:
The Valley of the Kings,

an ancient desert
necropolis and,

in the second millennium BC,

the final resting
place of the pharaohs

of Egypt's new kingdom.

Here, 100 years ago,

archaeologists made one of

their greatest
discoveries ever.

They found the most
spectacular treasures ever

recovered from one of the
most alluring civilizations
in human history:

the lost tomb of Tutankhamun.

Tutankhamun became
Egypt's pharaoh at
just nine years old.

He died only ten years later.

The boy king and the
treasures buried with him

made headlines
around the world.

But compared to other
pharaoh's tombs,

Tutankhamun's burial chamber
is small and poorly decorated.

Why is he buried in such
uninspiring surroundings?

What could it reveal
about his life?

Now, at sites across Egypt,

we follow teams
of archaeologists
and investigators,

working to unlock
Tutankhamun's last mystery.

OLA: Wow.
It's wow, wow, wow, wow.

NARRATOR: Egyptologist,
Aliaa Ismail,

has worked in the Valley
of the Kings since 2014.

At just 30, she leads a
team of fellow Egyptians who,

for the first time ever, are
digitally reconstructing the

valley's tombs, and recording
them for posterity.

They're searching for clues as
to how King Tutankhamun's tomb

was built that might
explain the mystery of

his strange burial.

ALIAA: This tomb is very
small and you notice that

once you get in.

Also, the figures, they look
very different from other

tombs in the valley.

They're almost like
child's drawing.

Immediately I can understand
that there's something wrong

with this tomb.

NARRATOR: Deep inside
the valley of the kings,

tunnels burrow
deep into the rock.

In the largest tomb, there
are more than 100 chambers.

In the center of the valley lies
the most famous tomb of all,

the tomb of Tutankhamun.

It was discovered full of
treasures and with a coffin

made of over 240
pounds of solid gold.

But all this was packed
into just four tiny rooms.

Archaeologists have studied
the tomb for a century,

but it still hasn't given
up all of its secrets.

ALIAA: There is certainly
something not right

about this tomb.

It's very different
from other tombs in the

Valley of the Kings.

NARRATOR: To better
understand the strangeness of

Tutankhamun's tomb, Aliaa
compares it to a tomb created

less than 50 years
after Tutankhamun's burial,

the tomb of Seti I.

Seti's tomb has
ten rooms compared to

Tutankhamun's four.

Most of these rooms were
likely full of treasures.

They are still lined
with stunningly carved

and painted reliefs.

It's spectacular compared
to Tutankhamun's.

ALIAA: Here you can
see so much work,

so much effort has been
put into making this tomb

what it is today.

NARRATOR: Aliaa uses
the world's most precise

3D scanner to map
the walls of Seti's tomb.

She compares her results
to the scans the team have

already made of
Tutankhamun's tomb.

The scans allow Aliaa to
analyze the tomb's carvings

and paintings and compare
the level of craftsmanship

at work in each.

The comparison could reveal
crucial information about

Tutankhamun's last days and
may explain why he ended up

in such a tiny and
poorly decorated tomb.

ALIAA: We are trying to get
all the little details that

one wouldn't see with our
eyes, out into the scanners.

NARRATOR: What lost details
will Aliaa's scans reveal?

Can they explain the mystery
of Tutankhamun's tomb?

In Gebel el-Silsila, Swedish
archaeologist, Maria Nilsson,

and her British husband,
archaeologist John Ward,

are heading out to a dig
for the first time since the

global COVID pandemic
forced them off site.

JOHN: It's gonna be
an amazing day today.

MARIA: I expect the same.

NARRATOR: Maria and
John are picking up
where they left off.

They are following the lead of
a 120-year-old archaeological

report that briefly
mentions a now lost temple.

The report doesn't
describe the temple itself,

but it does describe
its location,

claiming that it once
stood on the Nile's West Bank

where the quarry
workers' village lies.

When they were last here,
Maria and John dated the

quarry workers' village to
the reign of Tutankhamun and

they suspect he built
the lost temple too.

They are now searching
for evidence that could

back up their hunch.

To get to their dig,
they must cross the Nile.

The team's effort to board
their boat bright and early

didn't go quite
as quickly as planned.

JOHN: It's one of
those usual mornings,

when we go over to Tut's
Village it's always chaos

because we've gotta get
everything on the boat first.

MARIA: The first day is always
chaos because you need to move

all the equipment.

JOHN: Alright guys.

(speaking in native language).

NARRATOR: On the
West Bank of the Nile,

the team make the tough
hike across open country,

toward the workers' village.

JOHN: There's nothing easy
about going up this hill.

NARRATOR: Once there,
Maria searches out

Tutankhamun's inscription.

MARIA: So we know that this
is the name of Tutankhamun,

based on the combination
of hieroglyphs that

you have here.

NARRATOR: There's lots of
evidence of Tutankhamun in

this quarry workers' village.

MARIA: Considering that
we have Tutankhamun here,

we have it in, in
the workers' village,

we do have a hunch that the
temple was also constructed
by Tutankhamun.

NARRATOR: Before they set
off to search for any ruins,

John and Maria check
their bearings.

From here onward, everything
they excavate is in

archaeologically
uncharted territory.

JOHN: If Tut's
village is here.

MARIA: Mm-hm.

JOHN: And then our
wadi is in here.

MARIA: So we believe that
the temple is somewhere

in this part here.

JOHN: Somewhere in that area.

MARIA: This is exciting.

JOHN: It is indeed.
MARIA: We're finally here.

JOHN: Finally.

NARRATOR:
The team gets to work,
searching the landscape.

They scan the
surface material,

hunting for evidence that
the lost temple stood here.

JOHN: I wanted to start
from that big stone.

AHMED: Yep.

JOHN: And I want them to sweep,

as a line,
taking in that edge,

and then we work
our way up, okay?

But they have to look
at every single stone.

NARRATOR: A meticulous search
across the valley floor

eventually delivers a result.

Team foreman, Ahmed Mansur,
brings over something special.

MARIA: What you got?

Oh, ooh!

JOHN: Oh, yes, yeah!

(speaking in native language).

JOHN: Yes!

NARRATOR: In Luxor,
behind the Valley of the Kings,

lies the sprawling
necropolis of Asasif.

An ancient burial ground
for the elite nobles

who served the pharaohs.

Egyptian archaeologist,
Ezz El Noby and his team are

excavating a giant
tomb with an impressive
pillared entrance.

Ezz was fascinated by
Ancient Egypt as a boy and

has spent his entire
adult life excavating the

tombs here at Asasif.

NARRATOR: Can this huge tomb
shed light on the mystery of

Tutankhamun's tomb and
help reveal why it lacks

the usual majesty?

NARRATOR: The workers labor
beneath a hot desert sun,

to haul each 10 pound
bucket of sand up and out of

the 20 foot deep
tomb courtyard.

But soon the team
uncover a clue.

NARRATOR: The rope
looks as good as new,

but it's over two-and-a-half
thousand years old.

It's a big clue
that inside the tomb,

there may be ancient mummies.

NARRATOR: Ever since
Tutankhamun's treasures
were discovered,

unopened tombs have been a
holy grail for archaeologists.

Ezz's team clears away sand to
open up this tomb's entrance.

Expectations are high that
there are treasures inside.

As they dig, they uncover
more and more pieces of

fabric and bone.

The sheer quantity of
finds is a good sign.

NARRATOR: The number of
artifacts coming out of the

sand suggests that this
is a very large tomb.

Debris like this
is strong evidence it was

raided in the past.

To drop this much
material on their way out,

tomb raiders must have found
a significant hoard inside.

NARRATOR: The team works all
morning to clear sand from the

tomb's entrance.

Finally, there's enough
room for Ezz to take a peek.

NARRATOR: At Saqqara,

Egyptian archaeologist,
Ola El Aguizy,

is also trying to
unearth a lost tomb.

Ola is looking for new
evidence to understand how

tombs were built in
Egypt in the generations

that follow Tutankhamun.

That evidence might shed
light on the mystery of

Tutankhamun's own tomb.

Ola has been studying Egypt's
tombs since the 1970s,

when she became
fascinated with decoding and

understanding
ancient hieroglyphs.

OLA: We are expecting to
find something important,

so we are waiting
in suspense, yes.

NARRATOR: Three years ago,
Ola discovered an intriguing

limestone lintel here,
with a name engraved into it,

Ta Mwiyah.

Her investigations reveal
this figure was born into a

military family.

He lived just 50 years
after Tutankhamun.

OLA: What we found in this
whole area are military men.

This habit of getting military
buried here has began since

the time of Tutankhamun.

NARRATOR: Ola directs her
team to search for the tomb's

entrance, near where
she found the lintel.

Soon, white limestone blocks
emerge from beneath the sand.

OLA: Oh, I can see
hieroglyphic texts here!

A wall!

Oh, my God, so nice.

NARRATOR: To be sure this is
the entrance to Ta Mwiyah's

lost tomb, Ola investigates
the ancient inscriptions.

OLA: The great overseer
of the stables in the temple

of the King of Upper and
Lower Egypt and then the name

of the deceased, Ta Mwiyah.

NARRATOR:
The hieroglyphs confirm,

this is the entrance
to Ta Mwiyah's tomb.

Now, Ola's team must
excavate further.

They have to dig through
several tons of sand and hope

the tomb and it's treasures
are intact after 3,300 years.

Just inside the
tomb's entrance,

they reveal something
extraordinary.

OLA: You found something?

NARRATOR: A beautiful
painted artwork on plaster.

OLA: Wow.
It's, wow, wow, wow, wow.

NARRATOR: At Gebel el-Silsila,

near a quarry
workers' village on the
West Bank of the Nile,

Maria and John's search for
evidence of a temple that

may have been
built by Tutankhamun,

unearths a precious clue.

MARIA: That is gorgeous!

JOHN: Oh!
Isn't that beautiful?

MARIA: Oh, it's a
typical Amarna ware.

JOHN: Look at the lotus.

MARIA: This pottery is so
typical for what we know as

the Amarna period,
so from Amenhotep III

through to Tutankhamun.

NARRATOR: The pottery
shard is painted with

blue lotus flowers.

A typical motif from
the time of Tutankhamun.

This find confirms that the
old reports of some kind of

permanent settlement here
are accurate and that this

settlement dates to the
era of the boy king.

JOHN: It's easy to imagine
that this was once part of a

massive water vessel that
once stood in the courtyard

of the temple that once
stood in this wadi.

And for us, that is a

beautiful piece
of datable material.

NARRATOR: To find
conclusive evidence that
a temple once stood here,

the team starts the
first of several trenches.

If they can find
pieces of an ancient wall,

it will be a significant
clue that a large structure

once stood here.

As the workers remove
the top levels of sand,

they make another discovery.

JOHN: Amazing!

I love you.

(speaking in native language).

JOHN: Where?
Where did you find it?

NARRATOR: It's a piece
of worked sandstone.

JOHN: It's small,
but that has now,

that's just made my day.

That is from the interior
of the structure,

whether that be a
temple, kiosk, shrine,

whatever it was.

It has plaster and then
painted inscription,

relief over the top.

NARRATOR: The team find more
and more pieces of dressed

stone in the trenches and
among the surface scatter.

JOHN: This proves
that there was something

here that was more substantial.

NARRATOR: The dressed
stone is evidence that the

team could have found
Tutankhamun's temple.

JOHN: You know, no one's ever
documented this temple and

we're the first ones
to do it and to me,

that's just amazing,
it's awesome.

NARRATOR: Less than a
mile from Tutankhamun's tomb

in the Valley of the Kings,

Ezz is preparing to enter
a tomb he has just opened.

The discoveries awaiting Ezz
inside may have lain unseen by

human eyes for
nearly 3,000 years.

By the end of the
first workday,

the tomb's entrance
is completely clear.

EZZ: We are ready to
go inside the tomb.

Oh, my God.

Wow!

NARRATOR: Today's discovery
is a once in a lifetime find.

It's instantly clear that
the tomb is far bigger

than the burial chamber
in Tutankhamun's tomb and

doorways lead off
to more rooms.

To discover who this
tomb was built for,

Ezz must investigate the
far end of the chamber.

To get there, the team must
remove each of the 100 plus

bones littering the floor.

It's likely that these
are the bones of many

generations of the same family.

NARRATOR: With clear access,
Ezz finds further passageways

leading off the main
hall and a false door.

A false door is a doorframe
carved into solid stone.

Those buried here believed
their souls would pass through

this and into the afterlife.

NARRATOR: The false door
often carries inscriptions

identifying the tomb owner,
but here there's no evidence

of their identity.

NARRATOR: For a moment,
it looks like the tomb may have

revealed all of its secrets.

But, in the corner,
Ezz spots a mysterious

shape under the sand.

EZZ: Wow!

¶ ¶

NARRATOR: Ezz's team work
quickly to free the mummy from

millennia of dust.

EZZ: Ahmad!

Please, come.

NARRATOR: Now, the team must
move the mummy to the site's

conservation area.

Ahmed Mohamed, the
team's conservator,

prepares the linen to
stop it from disintegrating.

NARRATOR: Workers face a tough
challenge to maneuver the

mummy out of the tomb and
up a flimsy scaffold to the

top of the 20 foot
deep courtyard.

The operation is
fraught with danger,

for both the work
crew and the mummy.

NARRATOR: The workers
deliver the mummy
to the restoration team,

without it or them
coming to any harm.

Analysis of the mummy will
help the team uncover this

tomb's lost secrets.

Why did a servant of the
pharaohs get a bigger tomb

than Tutankhamun himself?

NARRATOR: Mummification was
practiced for 3,000 years of

Egyptian history on
pharaohs like Tutankhamun and

their servants buried here.

They believed it preserved
the body for the afterlife.

Belief in this afterlife
was constant and unshakable,

except for one brief
and shocking moment in

Egyptian history when
the pharaohs' faith in

eternal life vanished.

It was a revolution
that shaped Tutankhamun's

short life.

Did it also shape
his mysterious tomb?

At Gebel el-Silsila,

Maria and John have found
evidence of a building on

the valley floor.

Their finds suggest the
structure could be a temple,

dating to the time
of King Tutankhamun.

JOHN: This little shard,
this little fragment is all

that I have left,
at this present moment,

of what was once a
highly decorated temple,

situated somewhere
in this wadi.

NARRATOR: Maria and John will
continue their investigation,

but another mystery
here could help explain

Tutankhamun's tomb and
the religious revolution

that surrounded his life.

Previous generations
of pharaohs,

including
Tutankhamun's father,

built on the
East Bank of the Nile,

but strangely,

Tutankhamun quarried and
built on the West Bank.

MARIA: When we look at the
reasons why Tutankhamun had

his quarries on the West Bank,

we do think that
it has a strong link

with the priesthood,

the priesthood of god Amun
and that they wanted to

see him with a fresh start.

NARRATOR: Tutankhamun's
powerful high priests wanted a

fresh start because
they were fighting
for their survival.

When Tutankhamun's father,

Akhenaten, became pharaoh,

he led a revolution that
transformed Egyptian religion.

He abandoned sacred temples
and he banned belief in the

old gods and the afterlife.

He replaced them with
a single god, the Aten.

Akhenaten built a
new capital, Amarna,

abandoning the
traditional home of the

pharaohs at Thebes.

When Akhenaten died,
Tutankhamun faced a choice:

carry on his father's
unpopular religious revolution

or restore the old
gods to their temples

and their priests.

JOHN: Tutankhamun's
father, Akhenaten,

not only did he close
the temples and reduce the

pantheon of gods down
to just one, the Aten,

he created a chaotic
system which, unfortunately,

Tutankhamun inherited.

NARRATOR:
Tutankhamun's father,

as a self-proclaimed
god on Earth,

declared that he alone
could communicate with the

sun god, Aten.

Neither the high priests nor
Egypt's nobles were happy.

When the boy king, Tutankhamun
came to the throne,

many of his most important
advisors demanded he reverse

his father's revolution.

MARIA: Tutankhamun was
a young pharaoh and he would

have relied heavily upon
his advisors and the

court around him.

NARRATOR: Tutankhamun agreed
to return to the old ways.

He quarried and built
on the opposite bank of
the Nile to his father,

to make clear his opposition
to his father's reforms.

JOHN: I think he was able
to, in his short reign,

reestablish the
power of Egypt.

Tutankhamun was able to
revive Egypt like a phoenix,

out of the chaos that his
father had left behind.

NARRATOR: Did Tutankhamun's
counterrevolution succeed?

And can this decisive moment
in Egyptian history explain

the mystery of his
unimpressive tomb?

Just four miles from Luxor,
in the Valley of the Kings,

Aliaa and her team are using
a 3D scanner to investigate

the tombs of Tutankhamun
and Pharaoh Seti I.

Seti is buried in a
majestic ten room tomb.

Tutankhamun's four
room tomb is so small,

it hardly seems
fit for a pharaoh.

At the team's headquarters,
Aliaa compares the scan results

to reveal hidden details in
each tomb's wall decorations

and investigates if they are
connected to the religious

revolution that shaped
Tutankhamun's reign.

ALIAA: So, this is our lab,
where the magic happens.

(laughs).

NARRATOR: Aliaa puts
the scans of each tomb

side by side and investigates.

ALIAA: The difference between
Seti and Tut is visible.

Seti's tomb, it has so
many carved details,

it's so intricately
done and very special.

But however, when we
go into Tut's tomb,

it's just plaster and paint.

NARRATOR: Her 3D scans
reveal unique and

unprecedented details.

So Aliaa can see a remarkable
flaw in Tutankhamun's tomb.

ALIAA: When you zoom in, you
can have a look at the faint

outline of the brush marks.

It's obvious that the plaster
was still wet when they

started painting over it.

NARRATOR: The brush marks point
to an extraordinary theory.

ALIAA: It seems that
somebody wanted to rush
Tutankhamun's burial.

Clearly someone wanted to
close the tomb doors quickly,

not even waiting
for the plaster to dry
before applying the paint.

NARRATOR: The rush
to finish Tutankhamun's
tomb adds to the mystery

of its small size.

Who was responsible for
leaving the boy king in this

underwhelming tomb?

Was it revenge for his
father's revolution?

NARRATOR: Inside King
Tutankhamun's tiny tomb,

Aliaa continues
her investigation.

ALIAA: There is
certainly something not
right about this tomb.

NARRATOR: A crucial clue
to the identity of the person

who buried Tutankhamun
in this unworthy tomb,

rests with a
puzzling portrait,

painted onto the tomb walls.

Before Tutankhamun's body
was taken down into his tomb,

a figure dressed in
leopard skin performed

a sacred ritual.

He touched a serpent-headed
blade to the eyes
and lips of Tutankhamun,

believing it allowed
the dead pharaoh's soul

to see and breathe.

His spirit could now
take part in a feast
with his mourners,

sustenance for the journey
that they believed Tutankhamun

would make into the afterlife.

It was a ritual
traditionally performed by

the heir to the throne.

Was the leopard skinned
figure also responsible

for Tutankhamun's tomb?

Aliaa travels to the nearby
Valley of the Monkeys to

investigate the
mysterious man.

ALIAA: This tomb
is the tomb of Ay.

This is my first time here.

NARRATOR: Ay is the man
who is depicted guiding
Tutankhamun's soul

to the afterlife on the
walls of Tutankhamun's tomb.

He was possibly the father
of Tutankhamun's step mother,

Nefertiti, and a trusted
advisor to the boy king

throughout his reign.

ALIAA: It's amazing how the
background color is yellow,

which is the same as Tut's
tomb and the drawing style is

also the same.

The same opening of the
mouth scene exists in Tut.

Also, there is no carving.

The wall is just
plaster and paint.

It's almost like the same
person did the two tombs.

NARRATOR: Tutankhamun
died young with no heirs.

His premature death led to
a power struggle among those

with a claim to become
the next pharaoh.

Was Ay, and his
battle to become king,

responsible for
Tutankhamun's strange burial?

At Saqqara,
Ola's team of archaeologists

is searching for the tomb
of a man called Ta Mwiyah.

He was an important aide to
the pharaoh who ruled Egypt

50 years after
Tutankhamun's death.

Tutankhamun was intent
on reversing his father's

religious revolution.

Did his plan succeed?

Ola's Egyptian colleague,
Tarek Tawfik,

spots a piece of
intriguing evidence.

TAREK: Ta Mwiyah and
his wife, on limestone,

this is good news.

OLA: And I think I will have
the name of the wife now.

Married F, his beloved and
then this is supposed to be

her name, Tubi.

NARRATOR: Carved reliefs of
Ta Mwiyah and his wife, Tubi,

fill the tomb walls.

TAREK: We have the
deceased and his wife.

OLA: Mm-hmm.

TAREK: And they are going
and being received by a god.

OLA: Uh-huh.

TAREK: And it's not Osiris and
it's not Ptah, so who was it?

Atum maybe?

OLA: This is significant.

Religiously significant.

NARRATOR: The reliefs depict
the couple's journey to heaven

and their eternal
life in paradise.

Similar scenes adorn the
walls of Tutankhamun's tomb.

Ancient Egyptians,

just 50 years after the
death of Tutankhamun,

still believe that carvings
like these on tomb walls,

magically transform the
afterlife into reality.

But to which gods
were these paintings
and reliefs dedicated?

Who do the
Egyptians worship now,

after Tutankhamun's death?

And what does it mean for
the mystery of his tomb?

NARRATOR: Tarek and Ola
continue their excavations.

They could shed light on
whether Ancient Egyptians

still worshipped
the sun god, Aten,

as demanded by
Tutankhamun's father,

or had they returned to the
older pantheon of gods.

On site, the workers
continue to search for

this tomb's burial chamber.

TAREK: It's always exciting.

Sometimes there is even,
between the workmen,

a bit of competition,
who will find first?

NARRATOR: While conservators
move the painted walls to the

store rooms for safekeeping,

Tarek spots
something in the sand.

TAREK: We have a pillar
and I can see already,

there is a Djed pillar
decorated on it.

NARRATOR: It's an
important find.

This pillar confirms the
nature of Ancient Egyptian

religious beliefs in
the years after the

Amarna Revolution and
Tutankhamun's death.

NARRATOR: The Djed symbol
represents the god Osiris,

who arose from the dead
to live again as king

of the afterlife.

Ancient Egyptians
painted the symbol
on the bottom of coffins,

and wrapped the mummy
with Djed amulets to summon

Osiris and rejuvenate
the soul of the deceased.

They also carved Djed symbols
onto the pillars in their

tombs to follow Osiris
to the afterlife.

OLA: In the time of Amarna,

they told them that
there is no afterlife.

After there was a reaction,

then extreme
worshipping Osiris.

NARRATOR: The team
has found inscriptions
to Osiris and Ptah,

gods whose worship Tutankhamun's

father had forbidden.

It's more evidence
Tutankhamun had abandoned

his father's revolution.

He has restored belief in
the afterlife and the power

of all Egypt's gods.

The religious revolution,
demanding the worship of a

single sun god, was over.

This was a feat
that deserved a magnificent
burial and a majestic tomb,

so why didn't
Tutankhamun's mummy

get the tomb it deserved?

In the Valley of the Kings,

Aliaa is investigating
this mystery.

Why did Ay banish
Tutankhamun to such a small

and poorly decorated tomb?

Aliaa examines Ay's
tomb to look for clues.

ALIAA: That's a baboon wall.

Both Tut and Ay opted
for the same scene,

almost like the same person
chose what goes in each tomb.

NARRATOR: The uncanny
similarities between the two

chambers suggests a common
hand was at work on both,

but only Ay's tomb
was fit for a pharaoh.

ALIAA: It's very
similar to the tomb of

Tomb of Tutankhamun.

The style, the artwork,
the sarcophagus.

But it's so much bigger!

NARRATOR: The artistic style
of the two tombs suggests that

Ay may have been responsible
for decorating both.

Investigators now suspect
that when Tutankhamun died,

unexpectedly young,
the lavish tomb he ordered

for himself was not finished.

Ay seized the moment.

He ordered Tut be buried
in a smaller tomb.

It was quickly decorated
and sealed before the paint

had a chance to dry.

With Tutankhamun gone,

and before any challengers
could oppose him,

Ay crowned himself Pharaoh
and decreed that when he died,

he would take
Tutankhamun's tomb.

ALIAA: Ay buried Tutankhamun
in the smaller tomb,

so he could have the
bigger tomb for himself.

This is the tomb that was
intended for Tutankhamun,

the tomb of Ay.

NARRATOR: Ay banished
Tutankhamun to an unworthy

tomb to secure his
place as Pharaoh.

Later pharaohs erased
Tutankhamun from history,

smearing his name as
the son of a heretic.

But 100 years ago, when
his tomb was discovered,

Tutankhamun was
reborn a superstar.

Now, experts use the
clues to piece together

his true legacy.

As a boy king, dealing with
the aftermath of his father's

religious revolution,
Tutankhamun navigated a

royal court in turmoil,

but heeding the advice of
his most trusted advisors,

he reinstated the priesthood,

he rebuilt Egypt's temples
and he replaced the sun god,

Aten, with the
Egyptian gods of old.
