Tutankhamun
His age asked no ease
Yet death took the toll
His people were deprived of a king,
When a new civilisation unearthed.
He was the youngest king and the youngest to die.
As the drums beat in the dusty dawn of the Sahara
A wooden Egyptian table was laid and his guts,
Were spilt open for mummification.
Egypt wept, the Nile drenched and the Sahara quenched
As they watched a young king wrapped up,
And prepared for the after life.
His visions went down with him and much wasn't said of him
So recent generations only considered him a boy king
Until Howard Carter revealed to us his tomb
Stuffed with gold more pure and beyond imagination
" The mummy returned but not alone "
Today we call him the golden king
The son of Akhenaten
The greatest pharaoh !!!
