Tutankhamun was an ancient Egyptian pharaoh who ascended to the throne around 1332 BC at the age of nine and ruled until his death at around 18. He is famous for the discovery of his nearly intact tomb in the Valley of the Kings in 1922 by archaeologist Howard Carter, revealing a wealth of artifacts that provided significant insights into ancient Egyptian life and funerary practices. Nefertiti, on the other hand, was the queen consort of Pharaoh Akhenaten, Tutankhamun's possible father, during the 14th century BC. Nefertiti is renowned for her beauty and influence, and her bust is one of the most iconic artifacts from ancient Egypt.
