Good Grief!

there is NO excuse for such an amateurish photo!

[Bean Counter]

Not to be confused with Sun Ra...

Here's a story last spring about another ‘head’ of Amenhotep 111 they found - much better photo - and it mentions. correctly, that he is Tut's grandfather.

If you do some research, you might be surprised to find out who may well be his father - Amenhotep 1V, (Akhenaton) was...see next post - history is fascinating.

Amenhotep 111's son, Amenhotep 1V (Akhenaton) - who is Tut's father

And afterwards, all of the archeologists celebrated their find on the nickle slots!

That guy is in hiding, because, y’know, there can only be one Ra.

[mad_as_he$$]

Exactly!!! ;-)

[SunkenCiv]

I feel like rollin’ my hands across a keyboard when I see great photos like that. ;’)

[SunkenCiv]

I’ll have you know I drew that from memory. ;’)

[SunkenCiv]

The only thing I like about that place is, it must *really* tinkle-off Zahi Hawass. ;’)

Since the pharoahs were gods, you’d think that the Nile wouldn’t mess with his temple with flooding but maybe just go around it.

I guess the ancients were pretty pragmatic about god-head status tho if they just went ahead and used the stones for construction elsewhere. Sic Semper Amenhotep.

That’s a LONG face!
