Tutankhamun (funerary mask is on the left, and his name is on the right) is among the most famous of Egyptian kings. But he appears on no ancient king list, and was almost completely unknown before his tomb (called KV62) was discovered in 1922, by Howard Carter. The tomb is tiny, probably meant for someone else. Tutankhamum died at about the age of 17 (see my book review of The Murder Of Tutankhamen - by Bob Brier), and a tomb was needed in a hurry. Tutankhamon is famous because of the richness of his tomb. Although it had been robbed twice in ancient times, it still retained most of its treasures, which now are in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. memphis this where the neme came from city of kings ----it was perhaps fitting thats where -Elvis came from ALSO KNOWN TO MANY AS THE KING.
