In short i am not at all convinced by this article and find the conclusions to be misleading. I have been over it again and again and am frustrated at how poor it is.<br /><br />StuartStuart Tylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03852168221500295895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6760875.post-82990998457993853672012-03-22T23:15:28.362+00:002012-03-22T23:15:28.362+00:00Also

The "mummy of Sit-Re" is the same one which was a "possible" Hatshepsut a while back and as far as i know remains "Unknown". <br /><br />Not a mummy to be used in conparison- which leaves- no one from the "thutmose II" court with the skin disease. Threfore we can rule out the findings that it is not hereditary.<br /><br />StuartStuart Tylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03852168221500295895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6760875.post-17826992002643037872012-03-22T23:05:27.499+00:002012-03-22T23:05:27.499+00:00Interesting, but there are indeed a few oddities i...Interesting, but there are indeed a few oddities in the article. <br /><br />Thutmose III built a temple to Aten at Karnak?That one was news to me.<br /><br />The interpretation of the Speos Artemidos inscriptions are key here. <br /><br />It seems the author has interpreted Hatshepsuts words very differently than others before them. <br /><br />Lots of key facts missed out in the research and no references in the article.<br /><br />Regards "“After the reign of Thutmose II, the Egyptian court seems to have had a crisis of faith in their principal deity Amun-Re.”<br /><br />This is odd considering Hatshepsuts very obvious elevation of the same diety. Obelisks to Amen-Re at Karnak, Djeser Djeseru Amen - her mortuary temple, Medinet Habu, amulets,scarabs and the list does go on. And that's just Hatshepsut. Amun-Re fell out of favour during the Amarna period, but that ended with the end of the Amarna period. <br /><br />Perhaps i need to re-read the article- but its not one i will be featuring for the moment at least - as there are a few points in there which are worth consideration.<br /><br />StuartStuart Tylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03852168221500295895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6760875.post-50092667523418789462012-03-22T20:40:51.875+00:002012-03-22T20:40:51.875+00:00I wonder what is meant by the Asiatic populations ...I wonder what is meant by the Asiatic populations that controlled northern Egypt.<br /><br />Benjamin RaucherBenjamin Marcus Raucherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00006891069454386067noreply@blogger.com
