Became pharaoh when he was only 9 years old!
Died when he was 18 years old
His tomb was discovered in 1922 along with toys from his childhood,
perfumes, and jewelry
The discovery of his tomb is so important because it was one of the only
tombs that hasn’t been touched by robbers –everything was how it was
when he was buried (for the most part)!
