Introduction
Containing over five thousand luxurious items, King Tutankhamen's
tomb is one of the famous places in the world. King Tutankhamun or
Tutankhamen was an Egyptian pharaoh who reigned from around 1332
B.C.E to 1322 B.C.E and took the throne at the age of nine.
Tutankhamen lived to around the age of 17, 18 or 19 years old. King
Tut’s underground tomb lies at the center of Thebes, Egypt inside the
Valley of the Kings. The tomb was discovered by a British
archaeologist named Howard Carter in the November of 1922 after
nearly six years of searching and digging. Tutankhamen's tomb
contained four rooms filled with treasures such as thrones, chariots,
chests, statues of Egyptian Gods and many other luxurious items.
Ancient Egypt was a complex civilization, because of the religious
system that is displayed inside of King Tutankhamen's tomb.

Body Paragraph
Ancient Egypt was a complex civilization because of three clear examples of a
religious system that are displayed inside King Tutankhamen tomb. The first example of a
religious system in Ancient Egypt that can be found in King Tut’s tomb is King Tut’s
embalmed and mummified body. King Tut’s body was preserved by dehydrating it with a salt
substance called natron, then all body organs are removed except for the heart body and
after it is wrapped in cloth which lead to King Tut’s mummified body being placed into a
golden sarcophagus where it could enter the Egyptian afterlife to become Osiris. The
second example of a religious system in Ancient Egypt was luxurious items for the Egyptian
afterlife inside of King Tut’s tomb. Ancient Egyptians believed in life after death or the
afterlife where pharaohs would become Osiris and for the afterlife pharaohs would need
items such as statues of Egyptian gods, furniture, jewelry, precious oils, chariots, clothing,
and many other luxurious items that were used before the king had passed away when the
pharaoh was still Horus. The third and final example of a religious system in Ancient Egypt
was their burial ceremonies for King Tut at his tomb. One of the burial ceremonies
performed by the priest was the Opening of the Mouth which the Egyptians believed
rejuvenated the person’s body function and powers. To conclude, Ancient Egypt was a
complex civilization because of three clear examples of a religious system that are
displayed inside King Tutankhamen’s tomb.
