“…Born in Arizona,
Moved to Babylonia…”
Sorry.
Arrow to the head!
Was fascinated by the boy king until I discovered Ahkenaten…much more interesting character: Rebel King with a Cause (and possibly Marfan Syndrome)
Yeah, Tutankhamun is the least interesting member of that family. If his tomb hadn’t been found intact, no one would care about him.
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.
