Nebkheperure Tutankhamun (alternately spelled with Tutenkh-, -amen, -amon),
Egyptian , was a
Pharaoh of the
Eighteenth dynasty (ruled 1333 BC – 1324 BC in the conventional chronology), during the period of
Egyptian history known as the
New Kingdom. His original name, Tutankhaten, meant "Living Image of
Aten", while Tutankhamun meant "Living Image of
Amun". He is possibly also the Nibhurrereya of the
Amarna letters. He was likely the eighteenth dynasty king 'Rathotis', who according to
Manetho, an ancient historian, had reigned for nine years—a figure which conforms exactly with
Flavius Josephus' generally accurate version of Manetho's Epitome.
