He married his half-sister Akhesenamun and Merytaten married smemkhkare, another Pharaoh. Tutankhamun grandmother was Tiy and his grandfather was Amenhotep The 3rd.
Tiy's father was Yuja and her mother was Thuya (the spelling on the family tree is wrong). Akhesenamun's mother was Nefertiti and her father was also Akhenaten. Akhesenamun grandfather was Ay and her grandmother's name unknown. Ay was also Thuya's and Yuya's child. |
Things Tutankhamun did that made him famous
To begin with, Tutankhamun fought in many wars with the Hittites, the Mitanni, And the Nubians. Tutankhamun was strict to his army, which made his army braver and stronger. The Hittites came from Palestine and Syria and they invaded the east Delta of the Nile river. on the other hand the Mitanni came from northern Mesopotamia. (I don't know where they invaded.) The Nubians came from Nubia and Sudan. (I also don't know where the Nubians invaded.)
