The boy king bound to an eternity of life, the afterlife that is.
A nine year old becomes one of the kings of Egypt,
a boy whom reformed Egypt back to greatness...

As he was reforming, a respected king, he did not live long,
With an infected broken leg, death at the age of 19,
  encased in a tomb for 3,200 years before the sun touched him again...

While forgotten, locked with his treasures,
  the light of day appeared, and Howard Carter found him, 
all his treasures withstood as well, a miracle in the mummy world...

King Tut is known throughout the world,
His discoverers now rich, and museums gained attraction,
  Who would have thought a dead person could attract attention?
