“Disco Tut, (how’d you get so funky?)

“Disco Tut, (did you do the Monkey?)

“Born in Arizona, moved to Babylonia,

“King Tut!”

Anyway, not too hard to believe that Tutankhamun was the offspring of Akhenaten, who was born Amenhotep IV but became the first pharaoh to worship a single god, Aten, embodied by the sun. Since this would have put the priestly class out of business, they engineered his downfall. And Tut himself only lived to eighteen, wonder why.

He caused his own downfall by leaving the capital to found Tel El Amarna.

He shirked his duties. It was Ai that wanted to leave Amarna, and it was Ai that took over after Tut’s death, and married tut’s widow, too.
