Prince Tutankham, Tut Ankh Amon, lived alone in the midst of hating everyone, especially his father’s wife Queen Nefertiti, who hated Tut as he would be the next king of Egypt instead of her, one of her many daughters, or instead of her son, whom she failed to give birth six times.

The conspiracy was at its most intense in the life of Akhenaten, among the palace men who saw in Tutankhamun a great danger threatening the life of their greatest god Amun if the worship of Aten continued.

Tut Ankh Amon had ruled Egypt from 1336 – 1327 BCE for nearly ten years, as he died At age 15 or 16, under mysterious circumstances.
Tutankhamen married his sister, Princess Ankhesenpa-Aten, daughter of Akhenaten and Nefertiti, as Nefertiti aimed to ensure that the throne would not come out of her hands, and all revolted against the legacy of his father, Akhenaten. They forced Tutankhamen to change his name to Tut Ankh Amun and his wife’s name to Ankhesenpa-Aten and to leave Tall Amarna, the capital of Akhenaten regain, which became a full empty town.

Returning To Thesbes
Tutankhamun returned to the traditional capital, Thebes, and ran the country from this ancient administrative capital, and the army commander, Horemheb, began a major campaign to destroy the monuments of Akhenaten and his most famous god, Aten, and under compulsion, Tutankhamun with force turned against his father and began a policy of restoring what his father destroyed, fixing the status of the other gods.
Tutankhamun was sick, had problems with his feet and legs, and had a “flat foot.” One day, Tutankhamun fell off his war chariot in the desert of Memphis, injuring his leg. He died shortly after that due to contamination of his wounds and disease of his legs and feet, and after the unexpected death of Tutankhamun at a young age and without having a Crown Prince, as his wife got pregnant in twins, but that failed in the end, Ankhesenpa-Amun was forced to marry Horemheb.
Her monuments were destroyed by the wife of Horemheb, the queen, Mout Najm, as well as Horemheb launched a major campaign to destroy the monuments of King Tutankhamen.
