You know his name.
Early in his reign, the young pharaoh Tut-ankh-Aten changed his name to Tut-ankh-Amun. Why did he do this? What did it mean? And how much control did this young ruler have over his own identity?

Hi,
I can’t take place in the Egypt trip planned for next year, because it is way too expensive for a normal person from Eastern Europe,
BUT
I can invite you to see Tutankhamun’s trip into our times as he watches and marvels at the discovery of his grave and modern day achievements.
It’s a short clip, but the idea has been with me ever since I read Karl Bruckners “Der goldene Pharao”:
Best to all Egyptian History Podcast lovers,
Ivonna
