King tut ruled Egypt as a pharaoh for 10 years until his death at age 19 around 1324 B.C. Although his rule was notable for reversing the tumultuous religious reforms of his father pharaoh Akhenaten, tut legacy was largely negated by his successors

Answer:

King Tut, or Tutankhamun, was an Egyptian pharaoh who died of health complications at a very young age. Since he died so young and unexpected he didn't have a tomb, or pyramid, build for him. So the Egyptians decided to put him in another Pharaoh's pyramid. This pyramid was already empty because almost every one was robbed. This was also the reason he was impactful, historians had almost no information on buried pharaohs because they were all robbed, but no one knew that King Tut was buried in an existing pyramid, therefore he was not robbed. Historians were then able to study him and Egyptian culture from his unrobbed grave.
