We  learned about Tutunkhamun  this week.

He was a Pharoah  in Egypt when he was only 8 years old.

He died when he was 18 and his body  was placed in a secret tomb in the Valley of the Kings. A man called Howard Carter found his tomb  87 years ago . It was full of beautiful golden things . King Tut's mummy was found inside his sarcophagus.
