Image result for who was king tut? the bookThe book I’m reading is called who was King Tut, it takes place in the early 13oos, in the desert, back then, life was very different. People got married at the very young age of  ten. Also, kings and queens and other people of the 13oos wore clothes that were much more different than the clothes and accessories we wear today. The Kings dressed very fancy with beads on their fancy hats and crowns. King Tut grew up in the desert. Many of the Games, toys and clothes that once belonged King tut are in museums. When the museums first opened with all the treasures inside, people went crazy trying to get in. People were amazed by all the famous King’s treasures. So who was King Tut? King Tut was a boy king and the ruler of Egypt who died before he was twenty. He is Also a three thousand year old mummy! He was born around 1343. He became the king of Egypt when he was 10 years old. Back then when someone died, they would paint pictures of them. But it was not only to remember them and honor but the people believed that the pictures  could come back to life. So the artists made sure to include all the persons arms and leg so that the person would be able to walk when he/she “came back to life.” Also the artists had to draw the person when he/she was young and and healthy. If the person came back to life they would want to look young and healthy not old and sick like around the time they died. Although not born of royalty, Nefertiti looked very much like she belonged with the people of royalty. Nefertiti was Tut’s wife.  Nefertiti was very beautiful. In the 3100s, people believed that there were these gods:

Thoth: God of the moon. Anubis: God of cemeteries. Isis: God of protecting children.

These gods were important to the people of Egypt. The most important god of all was Amun-Ra, god of the sun. he appeared in human form. Every day day he rode across the sky in his chariot. When king tut was under the age of twenty he died. After his death he became a mummy in egypt. His mummy in in museums today. We do not know if Tut had children. There were two baby girls next to Tut’s mummy those may have been his children we don’t really know. A lot of things are still unknown about tut, but by the looks of things, life was NOT the same and that is what we know for sure. I would recommend this book if you’re into history and I would give it four stars out of five because it was really good but it just wasn’t my favorite book in the world. Thanks for reading!
