Jewel belonging to Tutankhamun
A F e s t i v a l o f P o s t c a r d s
call for submission of postcard for theme ' SIGNS' this month.
Thank you to Nathalie to send me this great postcard during her trip to Egypt.
The most famous Egyptian pharaoh today is, without doubt, Tutankhamun.
The boy king died in his late teens and remained at rest in Egypt's Valley of the Kings for over 3,300 years.
His original name, Tutankhaten, means "Living Image of Aten", while Tutankhamun means "Living Image of Amun". Often the name Tutankhamun was written Amen-tut-ankh, meaning "living image of Amun", due to scribal custom which most often placed the divine name at the beginning of the phrase in order to honor the divine being.
