[UCANSEE2]

The king took the throne at the age of nine after the death of his father Akhenaten at age 18.

Can someone explain this?

[Chani]

everyone is still counting on their fingers. ;)

	Gods Graves Glyphs	Note: this topic was started September 30, 2002. Blast from the Past. Thanks Asmodeus for posting it. It's been in the catalog for years, but news about Egypt has been thin lately (due to the digging and publishing schedules over there, give or take budget and grant cuts), so I'm going to ping it. Those who've seen it before may enjoy seeing it again (particularly if they've forgotten about it) and those who weren't on FR or on GGG back when get to see it for the first time. Probably. :') Also updating the GGG info. To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list. GGG managers are SunkenCiv, StayAt HomeMother, and Ernest_at_the_Beach

Has Clinton seen this?”

Which Clinton? We have to keep track of three now.

Wouldn’t a funerary mask have been cast from modeling clay or wax impression and therefore be the most accurate likeness compared to a computer recreation?

[DejaJude]

I always thought that the golden mask looked like MJ after his plastic surgery.

[668 - Neighbor of the Beast]

From the contemporary depictions I’ve seen of Tut’s grandmother, she was most certainly Negroid. So in the case of Tut, maybe we shouldn’t blame pc-istic revisionism.
And while I don’t keep up with these things much, I believe there’s at least a lock of her hair in a jar somewhere. Should be easy to connect the DNA links, if it hasn’t already been done.

[668 - Neighbor of the Beast]

Amenhotep III, father of Akhenaton, supposed father of Tut, did not take a foreign princess for his Great Royal Wife. Tiy, who became the mother of Akhenaton, was a commoner. Common to where, isn’t exactly clear.
Not sure who the mother of Tut was, but the usual hypothesis is a secondary wife of Akhenaton, named Kiya. Last I heard, nobody has any clue where she came from, Egypt or elsewhere, royalty or peasantry.
In any case, a Google image search of Tiy or Tiye will show you a typically African Negroid lady.

Just daydreaming...

[They'reGone2000]

Quick! BURY IT!!!

[thefactor]

i’m sorry, but does NO ONE see the resemblance to our current president?

[eleni121]

Have they determined who his mother was? Kiya or Nefertiti...

[calex59]

Akhenaten ruled for 17/18 years, he was NOT 18 when he died regardless of what this article says!
