Tutankhamun The Pharaoh of Egypt.
Tutan Khamun The Pharaoh of Egyptian was an Egyptian pharaoh of the 18th dynasty during the period of Egyptian history known as the New Kingdom. His original name, Tutan Khaten, means "Living Image of Aten", while Tutankhamun means "Living Image of Amun". In hieroglyphs the name Tutankhamun was typically written Amen-tut-ankh, because of a scribal custom that placed a divine name at the beginning of a phrase to show appropriate reverence.He is possibly also the Nibhurrereya of the Amarna letters. He was likely the 18th dynasty king 'Rathotis' who, according to Manetho, an ancient historian, had reigned for nine years — a figure which conforms with Flavius Josephus's version of Manetho's Epitome.The 1922 discovery by Howard Carter of Tutan Khamun's nearly intact tomb received worldwide press coverage. It sparked a renewed public interest in ancient Egypt, for which Tutan Khamun's burial mask remains the popular symbol. Exhibits of artifacts from his tomb have toured the world. In February 2010, the results of DNA tests confirmed that Tutankhamun was the son of Akhenaten (mummy KV55) and his sister/wife (mummy KV35YL), whose name is unknown but whose remains are positively identified as "The Younger Lady" mummy found in KV35. 
The damage to the back of Tut's head was first discovered in 1968 by X-ray. Analysts are still arguing over the nature of this damage: was it was sign of an intentional attack (murder?), an accident that possibly caused his death, or simply the result of the embalming process (where much work is done to remove the brain after death)?
The most recent analysis, done by a team in 2005 using CT scans, suggests no foul play. The scans also revealed a fracture in Tut's thighbone, suggesting that he had badly broken a leg just before death and probably suffered from an infection. It is also possible this damage was caused by his embalmers.
Scientists are relatively certain, however, that Tutankhamun died around the age of 19.
who that take his soul to heaven
He takes names in connection with his funerary role, such as He who is upon his mountain, which underscores his importance as a protector of the deceased and their tombs, and the title He who is in the place of embalming, associating him with the process of mummification.Like many ancient Egyptian deities, Anubis assumes different roles in various contexts, and no public procession in Egypt would be conducted without an Anubis to march at the head.
Anubis' wife is a goddess called Anput, his female aspect, and their daughter is the goddess Kebechet.
