'''[[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.
'''[[Santa Muerte]]''' is a female deity and folk [[saint]] in Mexican folk [[Christianity|Catholicism]] and [[Paganism|Neopaganism]].

Despite condemnation by the Catholic Church, and more recently Evangelical pastors, her cult has become increasingly prominent since the turn of the 21st century.


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".
Iconographically, Santa Muerte is a skeleton dressed in female clothes or a shroud, and carrying both a scythe and a globe. Santa Muerte is distinguished as female not by her skeletal form but rather by her attire and hair. The latter was introduced by a believer named Enriqueta Romero.


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.
