Tutankhamun, the Boy King or Pharaoh, was born around 1367 BC. His birth name was Tutankhaten which means 'Living image of Aton'. At the age of nine, in 1358 BC, he acceded to the Egyptian throne, the last but one Pharaoh of the 18th Dynasty. He was the son of Kiya, a lesser wife of the Pharaoh. The marriage between Tutankhaten and his half-sister Ankhesenpa'aten had already taken place. They shared the same father, Akhenaten the Heretic, who was responsible for changing the religion of the Egyptians from the worship of many gods, to monotheism, the worship of one god. The god he chose was the Solar Disc, Aten (or Aton).

Tutankhamun's Queen: Ankhesenpa'aten was the daughter of Nefertiti, Queen of Egypt and the beloved wife of Akhenaten. Princess Ankhesenpa'aten changed her name to Ankhesenamun upon the restoration of the old religions. It is known that the young couple had at least two offspring, but unfortunately they were stillborn. The mummified foetuses were found in Tutankhamun's tomb. Once widowed, the young Queen was forced to marry Ay, her maternal grandfather, to assure his accession to the Egyptian throne. Her fate after this is unknown.

Tutankhamun's Reign: After Tutankhamun became Pharaoh, he set about restoring the old deities, reverting to the old religions and thus giving the power back to the priests of Amun. This is when he changed his name to Tutankhamun. Exact pronunciation of Egyptian names is not known because vowels were not written down. His name has a variety of spellings including: Tutankhamen, Tutankhamon and Tutankhamun. Another name he was known by was Nebkheperu, as Egyptian Pharaohs had two names. Tutankhamun also reinstated Thebes (Luxor) as capital of Egypt. Thebes had been relegated in favour of a new city built especially for his beloved wife. The new city, Akhetaten (Amarna) was never accepted as capital of Egypt by the Egyptian people. During a battle in 1350 BC, Tutankhamun was killed or murdered; Ay claimed Queen Ankhesenamun as his wife but ruled for only four years...

Psychologists claim that we subconsciously mimic the accent of someone we are speaking to.The human brain has a habbit of imitating the speech patterns of other people without even meaning to in an effort to help bond and "empathise" with that person. Scientists from the University of California, Riverside, found the subconsciouscopying of an accent comes from an inbuilt urge of the brain to “empathise and affiliate”.

Their findings, reported in the journal Attention, Perception and Psychophysics, concluded this happens when we cannot hear what is being said but are simply lip-reading.
