The recent documentary on how King Tut’s tomb was buried by a silt and rocks from a flood off the surrounding hills, also mentioned how Seti eliminated him, his father, and a female relative (regent?) from his (Seti’s) kings list. Queen Hatshepsut, both a regent and co-ruler was also erased by her ward after she died.

Do you have a link to the documentary?

Seti was a god not a man, unless the name refers to some other Pharaoh’s name - they took many names which is very confusing; often referring to themselves by one of those other names as did others around them.

Hatshepsut seems to have made numerous enemies, but it seems that different Pharaohs erased mentions and monuments of other Pharaohs for just existing, and then taking the other’s stuff for themselves, claiming it their work by inscribing their name over the other guy’s.

None of that is uncommon in the many thousands of years the Ancient Egyptian civilization lasted; but it does seem to be more prevalent after the fall of the Old Kingdom when so much was destroyed during that first interregnum.

Tut’s tomb wasn’t water damaged, the entrance was covered by the tailings from the excavation of a later tomb.

> Since KV 62 was sealed throughout its history, flood debris did not fill the tomb. A fault line runs through the tomb, but it has remained stable and there has been no structural damage to the chambers.

The Great Pyramid was built for Khufu, the architect’s name was Hemienu, and the latter was buried nearby, as were hundreds of others from that time and regime.

The reference to Djoser’s pyramid being younger was made by JA West, but he was making an age comparison with the water-eroded Great Sphinx, not the pyramids (which are not water-eroded).
