King Tut was only nine years old when he became pharaoh (king of Egypt). That's why he was given the nickname, the Boy King. Speaking of other names, Tutankhamun wasn’t even his original name.

Tutankhamun, also known as King Tut, reigned from 1336 to 1327 B.C., roughly 3300 years ago. He is known more for the famous discovery of his extravagant tomb than for anything he did.
