King Tutankhamen was the son of Akhenaton! Was He?

A bust for Tutankhamen, Cairo Museum. Painted by the author.

Most of archaeological studies led us to one conclusion which is being
king Tutankhamen is the son of Akhenaton but none of it provided us with any hard evidence. The DNA and the Ct tests that were made for Tutankhamen in the Egyptian Museum Clinic in 2010, which were followed by the supreme council of Antiquities statement. That statement determined that Tutankhamen was Akhenaton’s son but did not
Specify the name or the title for the referee mummy or mummies where the DNA sample came from once they were testing king Tut mummy which makes it’s results to be doubtful. For many decades Tutankhamen was believed by some Egyptologists to be Amunhotep III son and that was due to some texts found carved in the Karnak temple which referred to him as a son for a king imagined to be Amunhotep III!. Maybe that conclusion was due to having no written or carved names found for Akhenaton in the Karnak temple as being him hated by its clergy.


Text refers to Ankhesamun”Akhenaton’s daughter” to be Tutankhamen’s sister, Translated by the author.

This may surprise the readers of this essay, a text refers to the fact that king Tutankhamen was Akhenaton’s son. Reads “ It is mentioned {to } the king {by} Nebet-hat {who} comes wailing
{on} for {her} brother the Osiried- King.” The text is incised on the back of Tutankhamen innermost shrine. The Hieroglyphics writing can be tricky as in this text the use of the word Nebet-hat has a straight meaning which is merely a name of the goddess Nephthys who was Osiris sister by birth ? but the hidden meaning was to refer to
herself as a sister for king Tutankhamen who is considered in the text to be Osiris and therefore Nephthys is to represent Tutankhamen’s sister and wife “Ankhesamun”.

" King of Upper and Lower Egypt- {Men –Kheper-Ra}, child of Ra of his body, his beloved { Thut-moses III } master of offerings, he who is given the life as the Sun forever, made with love two great obelisks in the abode of Amun, in the Karnak.” Translated by the author from the Hieroglyphics”


The area in the northern quarry where Thutmoses III obelisk came from.


Thutmoses III “ 1300 B.C ,is the great owner for the text found, in fact he was one of the best builders for temples and obelisks among the pharaohs in general and just enough to mention his four famous obelisks which occupy for vital spots in four countries. His famous in London which known as Cleopatra’s needle, then
His unique one in New York as well as his one in Istanbul and his fourth one in Rome.

July-2010.Sakkara. Two ancient tombs found in Sakkara discovered by the Egyptian delegation which is in charge of Sakkara since 1986.The discovery was under the auspices of
the supreme council of antiquities. Dr. Hawas mentioned that the first tomb was for a father called Sen-Dewa while the other was for his son. Hawas explained that the main tomb has a unique false door with intact colours and it belongs to Sen-Dewa who was a senior royal scribe and a nobleman lived during the 6th dynasty around 2374 B.C. Also it has a twenty meter deep burial shaft with a wooden coffin in addition to five stone plates with duck forms that contained duck bones as well as a small stone obelisk. The other tomb was for Sen-Dewa’s son Khonsu who inherited the same job titles and it has a similar design. Both tombs are located west of the step pyramid. Akhbar Newspaper. Copyrig ©Musegypt 。

Always Aswan city was the main granite source for ancient Egyptians where they quarried the best quality of it. Due to this fact, 95 percent of the Egyptian obelisks came from Aswan quarries. Visitors of Aswan monuments always astonished of seeing such a gigantic obelisk in northern quarries. The obelisk rough estimation of it’s weight exceeds 1100 ton and it dates back to the new kingdom of ancient Egypt ”1400-1200 B.C” Egyptologists believe that cause for getting the obelisk left unfinished was having a flaw appeared in it’s monolithic body and led to obvious three cracks and due to that the work on it was abandoned. We only can imagine the amount of frustration the builders had felt once it happened especially it’s work was complete to 90 percent. It seems that the ancient labours had used cylindered wedges as well as pointy ones to cut the borders for the obelisk, the number of discovered wedges were often in sycamore. Knowing which wedge-log can fit for each stage of cutting the obelisk borders is so essential as the using
of the wrong sized –wedge may result a sever damage to the obelisk body. Either misjudging from the ancient architect on selecting the choice of the right sized-wedge in one main stage or choosing the wrong spot in the quarry to cut his obelisk from may lead to similar situation. Regardless to the hopeful researches on the ancient techniques that may ancient Egyptians followed in order to disengage the obelisk then to transfer and finally to erect no logic research is done yet.
We may happily accept the wedge method to disengage the obelisk from the granite quarry and tolerate the use of timber wood in order to case the obelisk body with which may help it to float once an enough strong flood be there.


But the matter is far more complicated than that as once someone to imagine the Nile flood with timber wood casing, done to the obelisk, would help the builders of the obelisk to float it just few meters out of it’s cut socket there be an actual challenge which is how to have a full control over a gigantic monolithic peace of granite that is bushed by a tsunami flood つなみ, 津波 in order to reach it’s destination which is supposedly the Karnak temple in Luxor which is about 150 mile north of the quarry. If luck helped the working team to reach with their obelisk the inside of the Karnak will be one final challenge to encounter which how to erect the obelisk over it’s pedestal ?! most of well known theories affirm the method for raising an obelisk should count on sliding technique which simply by creating mud slopes, ramps or embankments which could be in pairs
then having the obelisk sledged up the ramp then pulled down in between? In practice many thing turn to be so different such as for what quality of cords or ropes we should use that can hold the weight of the obelisk while it is pulled” keep in mind no metal chain or pulley were discovered from ancient Egypt yet”.


Also once to imagine the moment that the obelisk is to land in between of the ramps and the moment were it may swing or seesaw with such weight “ between 300 ton to 1200 ton” a splitting in its body and a catastrophe to result to the labours and to the surroundings of the crowded Karnak? Finally how to seek precision while following the previous method while keeping in mind that the obelisk bed is equipped with certain number of bibs or pegs that made mainly to nest on matching sockets on every obelisk pedestal. “Resumption for this essay will be soon” Copyrig ©Musegypt 。

Could you send us some information on the Valley Of The Golden Mummies please we would be most grateful for any information you could give us. Dave & Irene Latch

The Valley of the Golden mummies.

This site is found in the Bahariya oasis which about 400 k.m south west of Giza. Valley of the golden mummies was an ancient Egyptian burial that dates back to different periods. The whole area was discovered by the Egyptian supreme council of antiquities and under the auspices of Dr. Zahi Hawas in 1996. The starting of the discovery was by mere accident as a donkey slipped into a tomb and led for the discovery of 250 mummies and roughly 45 tombs. The average age for discovered mummies is between 2000-2500 years. There is a rough estimation to number of mummies that may the future excavation bring to be 10,000 mummies. Also is believed that a lot of those mummies came from remote areas of Egyptian settlement, mainly during the Greco-Roman periods and that happened once the priests moved them to the desert. The reason beyond that was the taxation forced by the temple in order to store mummies and to maintain it and once space was lacked mummies were transferred secretly to the desert without letting somebody to know and to keep the tax continuously paid.

The Egyptian History, Reference on the use of female warriors in battlefields.

The Egyptian History, Reference on the use of female warriors in battlefields.


Maybe it is not so common to imagine in the ancient battlefields that the female role would exceed the nursing service and its subcategories but the ancient Egyptian wars were familiar with some female fighters. History mentions queen Aiahhotep “alternatively spelled as Aahhotep” who had a great role in the Egyptian wars of liberation against the Hyksos, 1700 B.C and mainly after the death of her husband king Seqnenra while fighting his foes. According to her mummy examination she looked physically strong and muscular which referred to her physical participation in the actual battle. And due to her brave fight she was rewarded the golden flies’ necklace which used to sign for the unique valor for ancient Egyptian warriors. Another rich example that goes back to the reign of king Ramses II is found in Bait-Elwali temple, south of Aswan which is about 1200 B.C. A wall carving that represents king Ramses II wars in upper Nubba” southern Sudan “ where he is depicted in his triumph and receiving the spoils of war and a lot of Nubian handmade goods” such as incense, Myrrh , ivory, ebony, furniture, bows and so on”. Also it shows his sons while leading the army regiments and vanquishing their enemy. Surprisingly, a princess is shown while sharing an officer leading a chariot and the sign “ Heqa” which means ruler appears beside her. According to the text which is carved beneath she herself led a regiment,” Daughter of the king, from his body, his beloved Nu-Netri is going forth -while her lead- given power, the justified princess”.




Indeed observing the princess on her chariot was almost imposable as she is depicted with so masculine body and a single hair-lock similarly to any prince.




The inscription may emphasize her early death which could happened during the battle or just before making that carving as it was traditional to provide the title “Maa Khrew” or the justified to the deceased. Copyrig ©Musegypt. 2006

The Journey into the Sun, the Solar Boats of Ra.

The Journey into the Sun, the Solar Boats of Ra.

The most ancient dream for mankind was the everlasting and so was it for the ancient Egyptians. Since the beginning of the Egyptian ancient cultures the search for the eternity never had stopped, the worship of the Sun-God Ra had been the initiation for the settle. Ra was the main creator god and force that had vanquished the dark, the chaos and the time. His journey into eternity was represented by his death or disappearance and his rebirth by his rise from death. The Egyptian myths describe the king to the mortal reincarnation of Ra and in post mortem melts in the sun. The world heritage of antiquates was enriched in the year 1954 by the discovery of the first solar boat. The discovery of the solar boats at Giza was the most stunning event for the archaeological organizations mere luck helped to establish that discovery. The first Ark was discovered in a deep ditch to the south of the great pyramid of Cheops, the ditch contained a dismantled ship of cedar wood. The Egyptian archaeological team had faced a puzzle once they managed to extract it, the countless cedar fragments “around 1200 peace” that represent the whole ark. Surprisingly. The condition of the ship was as perfect as 95 % included its original ropes. The first assumption on the ship main function was suggested to be used for loading and transferring the royal funeral belongings, that thought was abandoned once the boat’s anatomy was examined by the experts. Meanwhile working on assembling the ancient ark by Ahmed yousif and his team four other ditches were discovered around the great pyramid. Two of the ditches were found loaded with similar cedar piles of fragments that represent two more ships while the other two ditches were found empty. Book of the dead describes Ra full journey to be completed by the use of great arks, so according to that reference the idea of the symbolism of the ship had projected. The first ship was restored and assembled in almost ten years the restorers they took advantage of the ancient hieratic signs that were incised by the original builders in order to reassemble it. The solar boat of Cheops is the most gigantic ship that the ancient world had created as it is 54.5 meters long and dates back to the fourth dynasty which is about 2500 B.C. Copyrig ©Musegypt. 2006

Esna Temple needs an urgent rescue!

Esna Temple needs an urgent rescue!

Esna temple is located few miles south of Luxor city, the temple is surrounded by the local houses and the village. Esna Temple foundations go back to the 18th dynasty of the Egyptian history which is about 1400 B.C. Its earliest excavations started by August Mariette in late 1800 as he managed to unearth most of the temple. Visitors to Esna are often stunned with its glamorous and vivid colours which exceeded 2000 years old. The temple has a rich inscriptions that record too many royal names for the kings who shared building the temple of Esna such as Thutmoses III , Ptolemy VI , Ptolemy VIII , Marcus Aurelius, Decius, Septimus Servus , Trajan and others. The temple is in very poor condition as it had been left surrounded by the village and its sewage as well as water table which caused obvious erosion to temple’s base and foundation. Also great part of Esna temple is still covered by the local houses. Museumegypt wishes to call the attention required from the Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities to be seriously and urgently concerned of saving Esna temple. Copyrig ©Musegypt. 2006

Musemegypt, a wave of grief for a racial crime in Germany committed against an Egyptian-Muslim woman

Musemegypt, a wave of grief for a racial crime in Germany committed against an Egyptian-Muslim woman.

A German racialist had attacked 32-year old pregnant Egyptian-Muslim woman while his trial in a German court “Dresden”. Days before she was beaten by that male German racialist in a public park where he insulted her referring to her head scarf and offending her religion. On the day of the trial and after been accused for having abused her, suddenly he stabbed her 18 times till death and injured her husband too. The great disappointment comes from the German police officers who stood still the whole time and even someone shot her husband by mistake. The German police officers had an unexpected situation against the murdered woman as they searched her house for any evidence would make her a suspect. The murderer and his extreme hates to Islam represent a bad image for Germany where freedom and democracy is claimed. By Yasser Kamel
