However upon the death of his brother, he immediately inherited the throne. Throughout his early years of reign, Akhenaten hasn’t made any drastic adjustments but finished the temples at Karnack in which his father had started. However, during his 6th year of kingship he began to make some radical changes. He converted his entire nation from its traditional beliefs of polytheism to monotheism, thus making Aten the patron god. To emphasize his support of Aten, he changed his name from Amenhotep IV to Akhenaten which means ‘the spirit of the Aten’.

King Tut was king of Egypt for approximately four years so why do people consider him so important? Well it has always been scientist's interest in why this king died so young until 1922 when Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon were exploring the ancient tombs of Egypt they discovered the tomb of King Tutankhamen (Tut). They discovered a funerary temple thought to be built by Tutankhamen; he died before he finished building it so his sons finished it. His tomb is buried a mile away from the funerary temple. The Valley of Kings is believed to be where many of King Tut's family was buried.
Tutankhamen (reigned 1361-1352 BC), the twelfth King of the Eighteenth Egyptian Dynasty, became the most famous of the Pharaohs when his treasure-filled tomb was discovered in the 20th century.The parentage of Tutankhamen is unknown. When he became king, he was only a child, for although he reigned 8 full years, examination of his body showed that he was little more than 18 years old at the time of his death. Tutankhamen acceded to the throne shortly after the death of Ikhnaton. He may have owed his accession to his marriage to Ankhnesamun, the third daughter of Ikhnaton and Nefertiti. Tutankhamen had originally been named Tutankhaten, but both he and Ankhnesamun (originally Ankhnespaten) deleted from their names all reference to the sun disk Aten as soon as they abandoned Amarna, the city built by Ikhnaton for the sole worship of Aten.

John Wilkes Booth: The Story of Abraham Lincoln's Murderer By Joseph Geringer The Colossus of Rhodes "Ambition should be made of sterner stuff..." Julius Caesar "Of the Seven Wonders of the World, can you imagine how famous a man might be who could pull down the Colossus of Rhodes?" Such was the meandering of 10-year-old Johnny Booth, whose quixotic upbringing by an overpassionate mother and an insane Shakespearean father were, inadvertently, already stirring rabid visions of fame, glory and immortality in his head. By early adulthood, John Wilkes Booth became one of the most popular actors of his day, respected by men for his swashbuckling reputation and adored by women for his handsome face, but those boyhood dreams of fame were never satisfied. That is, until an opportunity finally presented itself in the form of the American Civil War (1861-1865). Here he found the chance he had been craving, where he could fashion real scoundrels and heroes from air, both becoming so vivid and definable.
After being humiliated by nationwide and worldwide newspapers, in September 1993, the Metropolitan Museum of Art issued an apology and sent back the Lydian treasures to Turkey. This was the first time in history that one of the most important museums in the world was sued by another, much smaller museum and won. With the successful return under his belt, Acar describes the vital location of Turkey as, “Most everyone and everything has passed through here: war, culture, philosophy, religion, food” and that is why it is important to keep antiquities close to home. Turkey has seen the effects of the different empires and religions on the pieces of artwork throughout the centuries and displays a wide range of them at national museums. But since the Lydian treasures have been displayed, they are still

Alex Rodriguez is the highest paid baseball player and plays on the most popular team, the New York Yankees. In December 2007, he signed a contract worth $275 million for 10 years. People follow his every move and tend to copy whatever he is doing because it is the “hip” thing to do. Alex signed an endorsement deal with “Vita Coco” and advertised the company. In this report, Darren Rovell stated, “The Company sent a picture to the press of Rodriguez holding the product, which did $40 million in business in 2010, with the goal of hitting $100 million in sales this year (Rovell).” Just a picture of Alex Rodriguez drinking the product helped the company gain a lot of profit.
Tutankhamun became King at the age of 9 and died at 18. The discovery of his tomb made him famous in history because of the treasures and artefacts that were buried with him. Tutankhamun’s tomb was small relative to his status. It is believed that his tomb was made for a noble not a pharaoh and that he may have died before the completion of a grander royal tomb. Egyptians believed that after people died, they went to an afterlife, where they would continue their lives as they lived them on Earth.
