Today I have visited the Egyptology Museum in Berlin where I have seen the impressive collection including the Nefertiti head for the first time in the...
Was it on display and what did it look like? I really can't believe that the museum has her burial mask. I'm wondering if they are referring to one of the...
Yes it was on display and was wood with gold leaf and one stone eye still in place. It wasn´t one of Thutmose`s plaster heads or the famous horned wooden head...
I have uploaded two photographs of this head and they are in the Photos Section under (originally enough) Wooden Head in Berlin. The quality isn't great as...
1st September was the second anniversary of the Royal Mummies group being set up. I have really enjoyed being a part of the discussions here and while I know...
Jon, If I'm not mistaken this head came from the tomb of Amenhotep III and is the head of a statue of Tiyi. There was an article about it somewhere on either...
Thanks for that email Doug - I really would like to know more about this head. I have done an internet search and found a review of the KV55 exhibition in...
I know I am going overboard now but this has somewhat satisfied my curiousity. The information is from http://www.leidenuniv.nl/nino/aeb94/aeb94_5.html RAVEN,...
Hi again Jon, It would make sense for Amenhotep to think that he would outlive his two queens. At that time men generally outlived women. Childbirth took a...
Dear Group, Does anyone know what became ot the peppercorns that, at his mummification, were packed into the nose of Ramses II? Hopefully, not discarded by...
... his two queens. At that time men generally outlived women. Childbirth took a tremendous toll. This may be true but in the 18th Dynasty many Great Royal...

just my two cents but i would not be surprised in the least if the peppercorns were indeed "lost" since originally found. do you know for sure that they ...

Mummies seem to have odd things stuffed everywhere. I suspect that the peppercorns were to open his nostrils with a big sneeze in the Hereafter. Onions for...
Dear Rosalind, To answer your question I checked my copy of "Ramses II: Magnificence on the Nile," published by Time-Life Books in 1993 as part of their "Lost...

Thanks so much for the quick response. You're right, the Egyptians have sort of "dropped the ball" about Tut and the fact that technologically they could...
There was a positive result out of the Tut CT Scan. They're going to do the rest of the royals and all the other mummies in Egypt as well. By allowing...

It's easy to fault the team that removed Tut from his coffin from this distance, but I have to ask, "What would you have done?" They were operating in an area...
