Who was King tut and what was his significance in Egyptian history?

Dear Student,
Please find below the solution to the asked query:

After Akhenaten’s death, a very young Tutankhaten took the throne. King Tut as he’s widely known today. The boy king soon changed his name to Tutankhamun, ‘living image of Amun,’ and oversaw a restoration of the old ways. He reigned for about nine years and then died unexpectedly. He was just a teenager when he died. The last heir of a powerful family that had ruled Egypt and its empire for centuries. Since the discovery of his tomb in 1922, the modern world has speculated about what happened to him, with murder being the most extreme possibility.
