The opening of Tutankhamun's tomb - and the announcement of its treasures through sensationalized news stories and striking photos - gave the pharaoh another chance to rule. IN 1922, a team of archaeologists led by Howard Carter (pictured above) stumbled across the final resting place of Tutankhamun, a historically unimportant pharaoh who happened to be buried alongside the biggest, best-preserved stash of ancient Egyptian artifacts ever found. Though Tutankhamun's parentage is still debated, experts have used a combination of tomb inscriptions and genetic analyses to tentatively identify one of Tut's predecessors, Akhenaten, as his father. At the time of the discovery, archaeologists didn't know much about the pharaoh - a boy who took the name of Tutankhamun and ruled Egypt for around a decade. [Extracted from the article]
