	The Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs Hospitality and Special Events
		The Tutankhamun Exhibition last visited the UK in the 1970s on a tour that became a global sensation, shattering attendance records worldwide.
		Tutankhamun Hospitality, a joint venture between the exhibition organisers (National Geographic, AEG Exhibitions and Arts and Exhibitions International) and Hospitality in Partnership, will create a dedicated hospitality suite, The Pharaohs' Palace, inside The O2 with direct private access to the Exhibition itself.
		The current Exhibition is far larger than the 1970's tour, including 130 priceless exhibits from Tutankhamun's tomb and other ancestral burials in the Valley of the Kings.

	Tutankhamun - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nebkheperure Tutankhamun (alternately spelled with Tuten-, -amen, -amon; lack of written vowels in ancient Egyptian allows for different transliterations) was Pharaoh of the Eighteenth dynasty of Egypt (ruled 1333 BC – 1324 BC), during the period of Egyptian history known as the New Kingdom.
		Tutankhamun was married to Ankhesenpaaten (possibly his sister), and after the re-establishment of the traditional Egyptian religion the couple changed the –aten ending of their names to the –amun ending, becoming Ankhesenamun and Tutankhamun.
		A fracture to Tutankhamun's left thighbone was interpreted as evidence that suggests the pharaoh badly broke his leg before he died, and his leg became infected; however, members of the Egyptian-led research team recognized, as a less likely possibility, that the fracture was caused by the embalmers.

		Tutankhamun's name was known in the early years of this century from a few references, but his exact place in the sequence of the 'Amarna kings' was uncertain.
		Tutankhamun probably had little to do with this or indeed many other decisions - his 'advisors' were the ones who held the reins and manipulated the puppet strings of the boy-king.
		Tutankhamun's intended tomb seems to be that found by Giovanni Belzoni in 1816 at the far end of the western Valley of the Kings (KV 23) and later used by Ay.

	TUTANKHAMUN
		Tutankhamun was a ruler of the 18th Dynasty (1336 -1327 BC).
		Tutankhamun was born during the Amarna Period, when he was first known as Tutankhaten (living image of the Aten) but later changed his name, presumably to try and distance himself from the "Atenist" reigns of Akhenaten and Smenkhara.
		Tutankhamun's tomb had been partially robbed and resealed in ancient times, but most of the funerary equipment, including the coffins and sarcophagi were found in excellent condition, almost like they had just been left there a short time ago.

	Egypt: Tutankhamun (King Tut) of the 18th Dynasty
		One reason why Tutankhamun was not listed on the classical king lists is probably because Horemheb, the last ruler of the 18th Dynasty, usurped most of the boy-king's work, including a restoration stele that records the reinstallation of the old religion of Amun and the reopening and rebuilding of the temples.
		After Tutankhamun's death, Ankhesenamun was a young woman surrounded by powerful men, and it is altogether obvious that she had little interest or love for any of them.
		Tutankhamun's famous tomb is located in the Valley of the Kings on the West bank across from modern Luxor (ancient Thebes).
