Does anyone have any information about a text supposedly written by Amenhotep son of Hapu? I think there was a Greek copy or quotation of it somewhere. Thanks!...
Egyptology project I worked in Egypt many years ago and since have found a great interest in ancient Egypt. I have had some thoughts about how to promote...
Hello, I was wondering if anyone had, or knew of a place where I could find a good resolution picture of the coffins and linen dockets of Thutmose III and...
It appears that there is some consensus as to indentifying the 2nd coffin in Tutankhamen's tomb, as that of Smenkhare. On what basis is this assumption made? ...
... I am not sure why you want to look at the inscriptions. They would not be in hieroglyphic text but in hieratic. Can you read that? Anyway, I don't know...
... Not on a very strong one, IMO. Some people believed that the second coffin had a "different " face but, when it comes right down to it, every last image...
I'll check my books and if I got it I'll scan them. :-) ... From: Elo [mailto: wehemesut@...] To: royalmummies@yahoogroups.com Date: Thu, 21 Sep 2006...
Thank you Marianne. There are different Amenhoteps and different Aakheperure's. As there are different Menkheperre's and different Thutmose's. But if the names...
Thanks again Marianne. The Smenkhare and Akhkheperure (plus Neferneferuaten) names, is another of the things which create confusion, because often, only the ...
A lot of the burial equipment from Tut's tomb appears to have been reworked. It had evidently been made for at least one other person. On the canopic...
I have to wonder what the artists that created the coffins and other representations had to work from. Did each studio have a few carefully reviewed official...
Hi Patty, If you're familiar with the sculptor's models found in the house of Thutmose in Amarna, you can see just how an "official likeness" could have been...
... So much of Tutankhamun was usurped by Aye and then by Horemheb. Horemheb actually has very little extant statuary of his own. There he doesn't resemble...
... There ... The differences between the various kings of the late 18th dynasty are there, but very subtle. Often is is just the shape of the lips and...
Dear Marianne, thanks ! the "Senenmut" speculation interests me. this face of "unknown man C" forces into some more thoughts about this man, who died around...
Dear Marianne, thanks ! interesting to look into the face of "unknown man C", a man who died about 3500 years ago. i just printed out your speculation...
Ok, I have a question which will probably prompt some snickering..but the article on Senenmet refers to his genitals being treated in mummification like those...
Just a general complaint--Yahoogroups seems to be at its all-time worst. Not only can I not reply to the messages that do arrive in my mailbox, I hardly even...
"Unknown Man 'C'" appears to have been much more robust (i.e. fatter) than Senmut is shown in reliefs and drawings. Like the mummy of Yuaa, there are creases...
... It's not possible to say how much fat there was at time of death and these mummies are obviously not of youngsters. Yuya was an old, white-haired man and...
Dear Douglas, Assuming that Marianne is right about Senenmut being Unknown Man C, we should keep in mind that we don't know how long Senenmut lived after he...

Hi Charles, We can be pretty certain that the Egyptians didn't stick to what a person actually looked like when they drew or sculpted them. The deep lines...
... I think they do and I think we can learn plenty from these sketches. But not all the ones I put on the website are just sketches on pieces of limestone....
... and ... But Smith never said Unknown Man C was fat! Maetkare is a "stuffed" mummy of the 21st Dynasty. She looks fat because she was--and her limbs...
Hello Douglas, I would be interested in seeing the mummies of the parents of Senenmut. Do you have any pic or any url where I could view them? Thanks, Elo...
