The ancient Egyptian civilization was a gift from the Nile. The King Tutankhamun drawn on this box was born in around 1360 BC. After becoming the king at the age of 10, Tutankhamun supported the turbulent dynasty along with the young Queen Ankhesenamen. She protected and cared for the king who had health issues, being tired from intense political strife and conflicts with different ethnic groups.
