Tutankhamun (alternately spelled with Tutenkh- , -amen , -amon ), Egyptian twt-ˤnḫ-ı͗mn , [təwaːt ʕaːnəx ʔaˈmaːn] ; approx. 1341 BC – 1323 BC) was an Egyptian pharaoh of the 18th dynasty (ruled ca. 1332 BC – 1323 BC in the conventional chronology), during the period of Egyptian history known as the New Kingdom . His original name, Tutankhaten, means "Living Image of Aten ", while Tutankhamun means "Living Image of Amun ". In hieroglyphs, the name Tutankhamun was typically written Amen-tut-ankh, because of a scribal custom that placed a divine name at the beginning of a phrase to show appropriate reverence. [ 3 ] He is possibly also the Nibhurrereya of the Amarna letters , and likely the 18th dynasty king Rathotis who, according to Manetho , an ancient historian, had reigned for nine years — a figure which conforms with Flavius Josephus 's version of Manetho's Epitome .
