Tutankhamun, initially perceived as a minor ruler, gained historical significance due to the discovery of his nearly intact tomb in 1922 by Howard Carter.
The misconception surrounding the 'mummy's curse' emerged from a misinterpretation of an inscription in Tutankhamun's tomb, which Howard Carter knew to be false.
After Tutankhamun's reign, Horemheb sought to obliterate Akhenaten's legacy and position himself as the restorer of traditional Egyptian beliefs.
Originally named Tutankhaten, Tutankhamun changed his name to promote the worship of Amun and restore the old religious order after his father's monotheistic changes.
