Was King Tut's Motive For The Death Of King Akhenaten

1341 B.C.E, this was the time when the Pharaoh king Tutankhaten was born. Son to the king of Egypt Akhenaten and his mother called “The Younger Lady” Tut would be the next king. The name Tutankhaten meant “The Living image of Atun”. After his father’s death King Tut become a Pharaoh at the age of nine around 1333 B.C and was given two advisers to aid him.
