Cartouche of Tutankhamun

The Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun is perhaps one of the most well-documented and famous of the Egyptian pharaohs. Since the discovery of his almost intact tomb in 1922, Tutankhamun, more commonly known as King Tut, has received unprecedented media coverage and frequent appearances in popular culture. Cartouche of Tutankhamun also became the most famous ancient Egyptian painting. King Tut's drawings in paintings depict many events including the time of his birth. The cartridge case is an oval hieroglyph with a horizontal line at one end indicating that the text in it is related to royalties. Drawing of King Tut showing his birth name and throne. Two paintings can be seen between fierce lioness warriors Sekhmet depicted crushing some ethnic enemies while the vulture goddess Nekhbet flies protectively overhead.

Each Egyptian Pharaoh had their name written in hieroglyphs, and each Pharaoh's name had a special meaning. Through the Cartouche of Tutankhamun, it can be learned that Tutankhamun is named after God, Amun (King of the Gods) and that his name is actually three words. Tut-ANKH-AMUN, which means "living image of Amun". King Tut's name in hieroglyphs is depicted using a reed, a water wave, a falcon, an Ankh (symbol of the Pharaohs), and a series of staff/shields. King Tut's name in hieroglyphs has been found to represent all of his tombs, from the walls of the tomb to his gold jewelry and his sarcophagus.
