'''[[Tutankhamun]]''', commonly referred to as '''King Tut''', was an ancient Egyptian pharaoh who was the last of his royal family to rule during the end of the 18th Dynasty during the New Kingdom of Egyptian history.
'''[[Quimbanda]]''' is an [[African diaspora religion|Afro-Brazilian religion]] practiced primarily in the urban city centers of Brazil. The religion borrowed many aspects of other traditions, especially [[Umbanda]] and [[Candomblé]]. Quimbanda's practices are often focused on worldly success regarding money and sex. The religion shares much of the philosophy of [[LaVeyan Satanism]], although it is more focused on the invocation of spirits.


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.
