BOY KINGS
- Tut 1341-1323 B.C. Crowned at 9, he met a mysterious, untimely death at 18. His claim to fame
is his tomb, the only completely intact one thus far discovered, and the treasures in it, one
of the greatest archaeological finds in history.
- Qin 260-210 B.C. Crowned at 13, he is a towering figure in Chinese history with an enduring
legacy. He united feudal China into one kingdom, first through military success, then by
interlinking the country through canals, roads and the standardization of script, coins,
weights and measures. He began the construction of the Great Wall.
