kmt_sesh Posted March 2, 2016 #51 Share Posted March 2, 2016 In the Egyptian records did Nefertiti die before her son Tut? You`d think she would be buried with her husband Akhenaten in his made tomb. The records don't tell us. As far as that goes, the records, such as they are, rarely define when a monarch died. It's highly unlikely Nefertiti was Tut's mom. Evidence for that is lacking, even though the identity of Tut's mother is unknown in general. Even the identity of his father is hotly debated. It's also debated when Nefertiti died: Was it before Akhenaten's demise or after? The evidence isn't clear. Some, including Aidan Dodson, have even forwarded a theory that she not only outlived Akhenaten but lived long enough to be a regent for a short time for Tutankhamun. By all appearances the royal tomb at Amarna was equipped to receive Nefertiti's burial, but that doesn't mean she was buried there. If she did in fact outlive her husband and lived long enough for Tut's ascension to the throne, a burial in Thebes (even in the Valley of the Kings) is possible. By that time Amarna had been abandoned and lost its royal status. No monarch would've wished to be interred there. So a burial in Thebes is altogether realistic. But Thebes is over six square miles of burials, including the Valley of the Kings. Personally I don't think she's in KV62 and I'm more than willing to bet Nicholas Reeves used the Nefertiti angle for publicity's sake, but I'm willing to believe there's something more to be found behind that decorated wall in KV62. Only time will tell. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
questionmark Posted March 2, 2016 #52 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Cyprus near the Kalavassos site did for Brandeis University in the summer of 82. The annoying thing after we demolished the mound - a small one about 8 meters in diameter the Cypriot government changed their mind and didn't build the road. And that is how it always ends when you let the pencil pusher make decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanslune Posted March 2, 2016 #54 Share Posted March 2, 2016 How do they know it is filled with treasure without looking inside it ? Presumption: if KT's tomb was filled with wonderful things any extension (if it exists) will also be filled with wonderful things. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PersonFromPorlock Posted March 2, 2016 #55 Share Posted March 2, 2016 (edited) Yeah when I was last there they had a ZSU-23/4 platoon station there - whether any of them actually worked is another question. ZSU-23/4* doesn't have to actually work; run a bunch of tracer through that bad boy and the opposition have to go home and change their shorts. * Four canon on a common mount, firing inch-diameter explosive shells at a very high rate.

Yes if the guns works. I never worked with the Egyptian military but I did once work with the UAE artillery units to improve their officers abilities to 'talk NATO standard English'. One of the L119 batteries I looked at had 50% of the firing pins cracked or missing......and lets not talk about fuses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanslune Posted March 3, 2016 #57 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Exactly when I've been involved in training foreign armies: Danish, British, German, French, Honduran and the UAE. I made up a list of army types Real army = a professional army that has combat experience Professional army = British, US, Israeli, Russian, etc Regular army = Most European states, Japanese, etc Police army = Some capacity but mainly designed to keep x regime in power, Africa, SA and Asia Parade army = Limited ability to do anything = Many African states Political army = No real combat power a jobs program at best for relatives = Saudi Arabia Oh I made a mistake here. Saudi has two armies one a normal army and the other made up of tribes loyal to the Royal family the two forces watch one another. The National Guard as it is called is actually the better combat force while the normal army is kept fractionalized to prevent it from rising up against the royal family. The NG tribal force is probably a police army and the normal army a parade army. They did marginal well at Khafji. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badeskov Posted March 3, 2016 #59 Share Posted March 3, 2016 (edited) Consider my mind boggled. Firing pins? The pin that hits the artillery round in the butt making the propellant ignite and propel the projectile at the target when the gun is fired.

Elsupremo Posted March 5, 2016 #63 Share Posted March 5, 2016 If something is found, it won't be revealed to us since we have no power, no knowledge and no money. Most of all, they won't tell us because some of us think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

back to earth Posted March 6, 2016 #66 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Just checking in to see if anything has been found yet ... People buzzing about new Egyptian artifacts ? ... People still tittering like school boys about Verginas ? ...... ...... I suppose the best one can hope for, to keep all parties happy, is an ancient Vergina artifact ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanslune Posted March 6, 2016 #67 Share Posted March 6, 2016 I asked my captive Atlantean spirit who lives in the Hormel Chili can (No Beans) on my desk. He says that when the AE were faced with an expected dead Pharaoh they wall off an uncompleted portion of a tomb and stuck him in there - one reason everything was all stacked up - he was suppose to have more room. I have predicted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmt_sesh Posted March 6, 2016 #68 Share Posted March 6, 2016 ... That very artifact is on display right now at the Field Museum in our big Greek exhibit. And, yes, it's in the Macedon gallery. From Tomb II—straight from Vergina. I asked my captive Atlantean spirit who lives in the Hormel Chili can (No Beans) on my desk. He says that when the AE were faced with an expected dead Pharaoh they wall off an uncompleted portion of a tomb and stuck him in there - one reason everything was all stacked up - he was suppose to have more room. I have predicted! Your Atlantean spirit is close. The hidden room is actually the tomb's bathroom. Some royal might still be in there...on the throne. Ha! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
