King Tut
Tutankhamun, also known as King Tut, assumed the role of a boy pharaoh, and his brief life extended to about 18 years. Hindered by severe scoliosis, he relied on a cane for mobility and struggled with frequent illnesses. Additionally, he married his sister, who experienced two miscarriages. Despite his authority, his rule lacked the grandeur often associated with ancient pharaohs.
While it’s unfair to hold Tut responsible for his physical ailments and family circumstances, the question arises whether his reign merits substantial praise. He did contribute by restoring traditional Egyptian art and religion, a point that remains subject to varying perspectives.
