Question

what statement describes the building projects accomplished under tutankhamen
○ he built new temples to honor the old gods.
○ he repaired religious sites and built monuments.
○ he introduced the obelisk to egyptian construction.
○ he built new trade routes and trading centers in egypt.

Explanation:

To determine the correct statement about Tutankhamen's building projects, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: Tutankhamen restored worship of old gods but the focus of his building was more on repair than new temples for old gods (his predecessor Akhenaten had disrupted old religious sites).
• Option 2: Tutankhamen is known to have repaired religious sites damaged during Akhenaten's reign and also built monuments, which aligns with historical records.
• Option 3: Obelisks were used in Egyptian construction before Tutankhamen's time (e.g., by pharaohs like Hatshepsut), so he did not introduce them.
• Option 4: Building trade routes and centers is not associated with his building projects; his work was more religious/monumental in nature.

Answer:

B. He repaired religious sites and built monuments.
