Tutankhamun, Head of Amun

Headed by the great Amun in the disguise of King Tutankhamun from Egypt's 18th dynasty (c. 1550 - 1300 BCE), this colossal granite statue originates from an unknown location and is now displayed at the Musée du Cinquantenaire in Brussels, Belgium. Created using ReMake and ReCap Pro software from AutoDesk. Tutankhamun ascended to the throne when he was just nine years old, ruling for about a decade. Historically, his reign stands out because Egypt's power peaked during this time and Tutankhamun rejected the radical changes in worship introduced by his father and predecessor, Akhenaten. Furthermore, since Tutankhamun began his rule at such a young age, it is likely that his vizier and eventual successor, Ay, made most of the crucial decisions during his reign. Tutankhamun was the son of Akhenaten (formerly known as Amenhotep IV) and one of Akhenaten's sisters or possibly his cousin. As a prince, he was called Tutankhaten. He took control of the throne in 1333 BC, at nine or ten years old, adopting the name Nebkheperure upon ascending to power.
