Tutankhamen and the Cult of Amen is a book written by E. A. Wallis Budge, an Egyptologist and scholar of ancient Egyptian religion and mythology. The book explores the life and reign of Tutankhamen, the boy king who ruled Egypt during the 18th dynasty. Budge delves into the religious beliefs and practices of the ancient Egyptians, specifically the worship of the god Amen, and how this influenced Tutankhamen's reign and legacy. The book also examines the discovery of Tutankhamen's tomb by Howard Carter in 1922 and the subsequent fascination with the young pharaoh's life and death. With detailed illustrations and photographs, Tutankhamen and the Cult of Amen provides a comprehensive and insightful look into one of the most intriguing figures in ancient Egyptian history.THIS 40 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Tutankhamen Amenism, Atenism and Egyptian Monotheism, by E.
