Also of interest, Ramses II had an Amarna-era statue rededicated to his daughter Meritamen (who was also one of his wives; this is one family tree you don't wanna climb ;'), just as he also had the columnade at Karnak (constructed by King Tut, another Amarna-era figure) rededicated to himself, and Tut's name struck out. The cartouches near the top of these tall structures still have Tut's name, no one felt like climbing up that high, and they couldn't be seen from the floor. Please FREEPMAIL me if you want on, off, or alter the "Gods, Graves, Glyphs" PING list --
Archaeology/Anthropology/Ancient Cultures/Artifacts/Antiquities, etc.

The ping went awry. Clicked "post" instead of "preview", and had the box checked.
