Editing Tutankhamun

| Birthplace = [[Egypt]]]

'''Tutankhamen''', born Tutankhamen, and also known as "King tut" or "The Boy King", is a historical figure mentioned in the [[Season 3]] premiere of Boardwalk Empire, "[[Resolution]]". The 12th Pharaoh of the 18th Dynasty of Ancient [[Egypt]], Tutankhamen became one of the most famous pharaohs when his intact burial chamber and its treasures were located by [[Howard Carter]] in November 26, 1922. His actual reign, however, was short and for the most part unremarkable.

The recent discovery of Tutankhamen's tomb serves [[Margaret Thompson]] as motive for the upcoming [[New Year's Eve]] party in the [[Thompson family]] home on [[December 31, 1922]]. During it, guests [[Eddie Cantor]] and [[Billie Kent]], both vaudeville performers, sing an anachronistic song about the discovery of King Tut tomb and his affair with [[Cleopatra]]. They also compare their host [[Nucky Thompson]] to the Boy King directly - while other guest, [[Gyp Rosetti]], merely refers to him as "another mummy".

Near the end of the party, Nucky's personal servant [[Eddie Kessler]] enters the room dressed like Carter, and invites the guest to take "a piece of Tutankhamen's treasure": jewels with real diamonds and gold coins as gifts. ("[[Resolution]]")
