His names—Tutankhaten and Tutankhamun—are thought to mean "Living image of Aten" and "Living image of [[Amun-Ra|Amun]]", with Aten replaced by Amun after Akhenaten's death. A small number of Egyptologists, believe the translation may be incorrect and closer to "The-life-of-Aten-is-pleasing" or reads as "One-perfect-of-life-is-Aten".


Tutankhamun restored the Ancient [[Egyptian religion]] after its dissolution by his father, enriched and endowed the priestly orders of two important cults and began restoring old monuments damaged during the previous Amarna period. He moved his father's remains to the [[Valley of the Kings]] as well as relocating the capital from Akhetaten back to Thebes.
