In what year was King Tutankhamen enthroned

[Sludge]

He reigned from 1336 - 1327 BC and was the 12th king of the 18th Dynasty and nine years old at his succession. His name at birth, was Tutankhaten "Living Image of the Aten", placing him in the line of pharaohs following Akhenaten, who was most likely his father.His mother was probably Kiya. He changed his name in year two of his rule to 'Tutankhamun' or Heqa-iunu-shema, which means 'Living Image of Amun,  Ruler of Upper Egyptian Heliopolis", which is actually a reference to Karnak as Egypt had reverted to an old religion. His name is also spelled Tutankhamen or Tutankhamon, and other variations. His throne name was Neb-Kheperu-re, which means "Lord of Manifestations is Re". He was 18 when he died, whether by murder or accident is not known.
