S01E07 King Tut ON FIRE

from Talk Like An Egyptian · host Dr Chris Naunton and Iszi Lawrence

Tutankhamun is now very famous of course but ironically he was relatively insignificant right? We know that Tutankhamun was the 'boy king' and ruled as a child and so didn't - couldn't have - done much… In this episode we challenge this view, and show that in fact Tutankhamun ruled at the most interesting of times and may have been responsible for restoring the traditional religion after the brief period of heresy under Akhenaten.   Links:   Extra content: https://www.patreon.com/talklikeanegyptian Reeves,  Akhenaten: Egypt's false prophet Dodson, Amarna Sunrise (for the early part of Akhenaten's reign and the period immediately before it) and Amarna Sunset (for the later part f the reign and Akhenaten's successors including Tutankhamun.
