1343 BC	Tutankhamun was born in this year - his name at this time was Tutankhaten
	1343BC	He was the son of Pharaoh Akhenaten, the heretic king and his wife Kiya. His birthplace was probably Amarna, the new city created by Akenaten and settled in 1345BC when he moved the population from Thebes
	1337 BC	After a reign of 17 years it is believed that Akhenaten was forced to abdicate and soon after died
	1336 BC	A person called Smenkhkare Ankhetkheperure took the throne (r1336 BC -1334 BC) There is speculation that Smenkhkare Ankhetkheperure was in fact a woman due to the feminine spelling of the name and questions whether Smenkhkare Ankhetkheperure could have been Nefertiti, Akhenaten's Chief Wife and the mother-in-law and stepmother of Tutankhamun
	1334 BC	Tutankhamun was made Pharaoh of Egypt. He was nine years old. His regent was Ay who was also the Grand Vizier. Ay was also the father of Nefertiti, his stepmother and also the grandfather of Ankhesenpaaten
	1334 BC	Tutankhamun married Ankhesenpaaten, his half sister, the third daughter of Akhenaten and Nefertiti
	1331 BC	Tutankhamun changed his name from Tutankhaten to Tutankhamun and Queen Ankhesenpaaten changed her name to Ankhesenamun, probably due to pressure from traditionalists, reflecting the growing acceptance of the old god Amun and decline in support of the god Aten
	1330 BC	King Tutankhamun, Queen Ankhesenpaaten and the royal court, moved back to the old capital at Thebes, the center of worship of the Ancient Egyptian god Amun and the power base of the Amun priests.
	1330 BC - 1325 BC	The marriage of Tutankhamun and Ankhesenpaaten produced two daughters who were stillborn.
