King Tutankhamun's father, Pharaoh Akhenaten, was a controversial figure in ancient Egypt. He is often described as being hated because he made some big changes during his rule. One of the biggest changes was introducing a new religion that focused on worshipping only one god, the sun disk named Aten. This was different from the traditional Egyptian belief in many gods. Akhenaten closed the temples of the other gods and made people worship only Aten. This made him unpopular with the priests and people who believed in the old gods. After Akhenaten died, the people of Egypt wanted to go back to their old religious beliefs, and this is where King Tutankhamun comes into the story. As King Tut's father was disliked by many, it may have made things challenging for the young king when he took the throne.

When Tutankhamun was just seven years old, his father passed away. After a few years, he became the Pharaoh of Egypt. It was common for pharaohs in ancient Egypt to marry their sisters, and Tutankhamun married his own sister. Since he was so young, he had help ruling the country. The true rulers were a strong general named Horemheb and Tutankhamun's advisor called Ay. They made important decisions and guided Tutankhamun in his role as Pharaoh. Even though Tutankhamun was the king, he relied on their wisdom and experience to govern Egypt effectively. 

When Tutankhamun was just 19 years old, he tragically died. The cause of his death is still a mystery, but some believe he may have had an injury or illness. After his death, he was prepared for burial according to ancient Egyptian customs. His body was carefully preserved through a process called mummification. The mummification involved removing the organs, treating the body with preservatives, and wrapping it in linen bandages. Tutankhamun's mummy was placed in a beautiful golden coffin, adorned with precious jewels and symbols of power. He was then laid to rest in a tomb known as KV62, located in the Valley of the Kings.
