Site of the Week! In honor of King Tut, this week's featured site is:
King Tut One Tutankhamun, or better know as King Tut, once ruled Egypt in the eighteenth dynasty. He ruled for only a short period and was given the throne at the age of eight. Although not very popular during his time, he remains today as the most famous pharaoh. Come learn about the boy king and find out for yourself why his whole discovery was one of the greatest finds of the world! Enjoy! **You can now see our past "Sites of the Week" live on
