Ancient Egyptian Pharaoh Tutankhamun


1* One of these is Pharaoh, Ramses III, who was an extremely skilled warrior,
it was very difficult for historians to determine when he was born. Also,
historians can only estimate a time when he ruled Egypt. 2* For Amenhotep IV,

they found out when Amenhotep IV's father, Amenhotep III died. Amenhotep IV's
tomb inscribed five names he gave himself and one of them, Golden Horus, proves
that he was crowned on the bank of the Nile. Before he even became pharaoh, he
was already married to Nefertiti. When Amenhotep IV became pharaoh, he destroyed
the religion of Amun. He did this to start his own new religion of Aten, the
disc which sent out rays ending in hands. 3* King Sneferu was believed to be the
first king of the Fourth Dynasty. Sneferu have started his reign over Egypt was
around 2620 B.C. Sneferu is believed to have been a fair and just king. He named
himself as Master of Justice or Truth. Sneferu built many temples and
structures. All of Sneferu’s structures and buildings were signed . His
signature was having a statue of a woman symbolizing the foundation. The statue
of the young women is presenting the sign of life and votive offerings, as well
as the signs of the city and the stronghold. There are about four or five of

these in each province. A lot of the

artifacts used throughout the King’s life. These artifacts varies from a
decorated chest, which was most likely used as a closet or suitcase, to ivory
and gold bracelets, necklaces, and other decorative jewelry, to alabaster vases
and flasks. There were also many weapons and instruments used by the King.
