Egyptian Dreams

[anneke]

You may know this already, but there is a very interesting page on the National Geographic website dedicated to Tut:
http://magma.nationalgeographic.com/ngm/tut/mysteries/index.html

You need a Macromedia flashplayer and a high speed internet connection

There's a virtual tour of the tomb describing the paintings on the walls, images of all the shrines and coffins.

What I found really interesting was a "tour" of the CT scans and a list of some interesting features that came from the scans.

Thank you, Anneke. As a side thought, I consider that Kennethhirst is right: Although he was a lesser Pharaoh, calling Neb-kheperu-Re Tut-ankh-Amon “Tut” are no manners. On the other hand, if we write “Tut on the pc” to save time when all the effort it takes is a few keystrokes, imagine what we would have done if we were compelled to use a brush or, worse, a chisel. We would have written “T”, at most. This laziness while writing documents is what keeps historians scratching their heads. Best regards.

LOL I guess I'll start referring to them as Tut, Ankhes, Akhy and Neffie from now on.
You'll have to learn to live with it kh

Oh, dear… But, of course, I was joking. Good old Tut will surely not complain. Once I saw an ancient tombstone, from Roman times: On it, badly eroded by time, there were only a few letters, something like “H.I.P.G.XX” or similar. I wondered: “If this poor devil sought to be remembered, he sure did a fine job”. Best wishes.
