He ascended to the throne under the name of Tutankhaten, “The living image of Aten”. Despite this, it seems that his legitimacy was not questioned by his contemporaries. If this were the case he would have been the fruit of an incestuous relationship, which might go far to explain his debilitated physical state (see below). DNA surveys of some members of the royal family of the Amarna period are said to indicate that Tutankhamun was neither the son of Nefertiti nor of the lady Kiya (the two usually cited wives of Akhenaten), but rather of a girl related to Amenhotep III and Akhenaten. His origins on his mother’s side, as also the circumstances of his acceding to the throne, remain under discussion. Tutankhamun (~1335-1327 B.C.) was the son of the "heretical" pharaoh. For it might have been that any such larger tombs might have contained equivalent quantities of treasures, but spread over a greater area, in a larger number of chambers. Yet might it not be wiser to reflect on the fact that this particular tomb dates from the 18th Dynasty, one of the most prestigious and richest periods of Egyptian history, and that it features a king from a pivotal transitional moment in history, a period on which it contributes to shed light? And in any case it is far from clear that the amount of funerary material discovered in it was significantly less than for any other pharaoh of longer reign and with a bigger tomb. In spite of this being the greatest archaeological discovery of all time, a recurrent theme has been to regret that the tomb that had been found intact was only one of a “minor” pharaoh, and to imagine what might have been the case had its subject been a prestigious pharaoh after a long reign. Instead this page will continue with the description of the actual tomb. The circumstances of the discovery of the tomb having been amply detailed by Carter himself, none of this will be repeated here. The thousands of objects in the tomb, magnificent sarcophagi, thrones and masks of gold: these would fire the imagination of archaeologists and tourists for generations. For the first time Egyptologists and the public, spellbound, were to be made truly aware of the splendour with which the kings of Egypt surrounded themselves.
