The line "Tutankhamen is a drop of water in the ocean of history" contains a type of figurative language called metaphor, as is further explained below.

<h3>What is metaphor?</h3>
  • Metaphor is a type of figurative language.
  • It is used to compare different things, people, etc.
  • Metaphor does NOT rely on the words "like" or "as" for the comparison.
  • It states that "thing A is thing B" rather than "thing A is like thing B."

With the information above in mind, we can identify the use of metaphor in the line by Lewis. She states that Tutankhamen is a drop of water in the ocean of history, comparing the young pharaoh to a single drop of water.

Her purpose with such a comparison is to show that, in terms of all history, Tutankhamen's story is quite small, maybe even insignificant.
