An interesting topic would be on whether the Amarna Period damaged Egyptian civilisation and in fact set things in motion for its decline! Thanks, Danny...
I don't know if the Amarna period set in motion the stage for the decline of Egypt or if it was just the times. In earlier times Egypt and the rest of the Near...

You forgot the Early Dynastic (ED). I would have voted for it had it been a choice......
There can be no doubt that the Amarna Revolution introduced radical new ideas to the Egyptian psyche. The fact that it came from the king himself, a...
I'm tossing this into the mix for consideration. Amenhotep III had two Heb-Sed Festivals. I really don't recall any being celebrated by his predecessors in...
Two news stories about Tutankhamun have been released this evening: Face of Tutankhamun reconstructed http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/4535027.stm ...
yeah he seems to be in the news a lot lately - died of a broken leg? hmmm sounds like a cover-up to me! Tom A. Why? People have died of complications from...
Hi Tom, Who's covering up what? I think the "Statute of Limitations" has expired (along with all the suspects) on murder. A lot of people die from broken...
The Horizon of Aten. An intriguing active site, started by young scholars, with subjects under lively discussion such as, who Tut's parents were, his ...
Last night National Geographic Channel had the program on Tul's latest autopsy. Unfortunatly that was only good for about a forty-five minute show. They had...
I find it difficult to believe that Tutankhamun was the son of Amenhotep III. He was supposedly 9 years old when he ascended to the throne. Prior to that,...
The issue is as to whether there was a coregency between Amenhotep III and Akhenaton. There is evidence that there was but it is vague as to length. Obviously...
I know this doesn't pertain to Amarna but for those of you who might be interested: The age of the Sphinx has generated a certain amount of controversy....
The question of whether there was a co-regency of Amenhotep III and Amenhotep IV has been debated for the last 100 years. If there was one, just how long did...
<<If they weren't killed (as suggested in a recent KMT article), why couldn't one of them be the father of someone like Tut? If a nephew of a pharaoh married...
I agree that Tut is called, "King's son", but I can't remember if the full text continues, "of his body." Whether this means literally that Tut's father was a...
"Somewhere, Tut is referred to as "King's son"..." "King's son of his body" I refer you to the definitive books: "Akhenaten, Pharaoh of Egypt", by Cyril Aldred...
There has been a lot of speculation on "Who Murdered Tutankhamen?" Some people have built their careers on it, claiming they "KNOW who done it" (sic). But,...
Hi Rene, I have both of those books and while very good they're woefully dated and speculative. Aldred did a good job of trying to keep his up to date. I...
Oh, stupid me, obviously I hadn't seen the cat-scans program Dr. Hawass did when I wrote that. If what they revealed in that program holds up, it does not take...
Hello Everybody, I am David, 49, married, living in Houston Texas. I am a novice in many areas of discussion I see your group is concerned with, but I do enjoy...
I'm sure by now most of you have seen the National Geographic Channel's show on the CT Scan. There was a lot of talk on that program about the missing kneecap....
Akhenaten's ruthless campaign against the old pantheon was a major defining moment in the history of Ancient Egypt – perhaps even the world! We assume that...
Doug, Please list exact web address for that missing kneecap on National Geo's website. I've been looking and can't find it. I think you're gonna like my book....
... What most are not considering is that when Akhenaten finally shut down all the traditional temples in the Two Lands, he shut down the bureaucracy that ran...

Rene, I agree with you on employment in temples dropping to zilch. He not only closed them, vandalized them, but probably stripped them as well. All you have...
