Was fascinated by the boy king until I discovered Ahkenaten…much more interesting character: Rebel King with a Cause (and possibly Marfan Syndrome) Reply
Yeah, Tutankhamun is the least interesting member of that family. If his tomb hadn’t been found intact, no one would care about him. Reply
As a bit of a side note, a local museum had, without knowing, the remains of Ramses I, which I saw on display as a child. For the record, I thought it was waaaay too cool. Thankfully, the mummy has been returned to Egypt. http://www.cbc.ca/news/technology/niagara-falls-pharoah-to-return-to-egypt-1.325245 Reply

Moved to Babylonia…”
