Was Akhenaten Tutankhamun's Father? |
http://tinyurl.com/2xpmfq
"Most people recognize Tutankhamun as the boy-king of ancient Egypt.
He is the most well-known pharaoh because his tomb was discovered
apparently intact* and, more importantly, because it contained the
magnificent gold mask that has become an icon of Egypt.
"Tutankhamun was otherwise unremarkable, as was his mother
Nefertiti, who is renowned only for her beauty. Of far greater
interest, and importance, than both Tutankhamun and Nefertiti was the
pharaoh who some believe was Tutankhamun's father: Akhenaten, the so-
called "heretical" pharaoh.
"Akhenaten was an eighteenth dynasty pharaoh, who ruled over
Egypt somewhere between 1353 - 1334 BCE. He is one of the most pivotal
figures in world history - he invented monotheism, and his religion
formed the basis of Judaeo-Christianity and Islam.
"As well as being one of the most influential historical figures,
Akhenaten is also one of the most enigmatic. His reign was a turbulent
period in ancient Egyptian history, filled with deception, intrigue
and murder. His true identity is still debated, and his remains have
never been found.
"But now, Egyptologists examining an unidentified mummy
discovered in a tomb close to that of Tutankhamun's have obtained
forensic evidence which supports the theory that Akhenaten was indeed
the boy-king's father."
See link for further detail.
Akhenaten was probably Luke Skywalker's father too....

LOL!
I wonder if anyone will try to extract DNA from the mummies.

Akhenaten was the first to come up with the theory of monotheism and
started the sun religion.
Interesting man. He also was the first king to insist that artist
protray him as ugly as he really was rather than pretending he looked
perfect as prior Egyptian kings were rendered.
