Tutankamon o Tutankamón: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que las grafías "Tutankamon" o "Tutankamón" son las adecuadas para aludir al faraón egipcio de la dinastía XVIII, no así "Tutankhamon". [...] Así, del inglés "Tutankhamun" el español ha adaptado la forma a "Tutankamon", voz llana que prescinde de la secuencia kh, la cual es ajena a nuestro idioma. Además, tal y como indica la Real Academia Española en su cuenta de Twitter, la grafía "Tutankamón" es posible para reflejar la pronunciación aguda del nombre [...] 1, record 1, Spanish, - Tutankamon
