He’s shown shooting arrows from a seated position. The disability doesn’t mean he was never active.

Lutz, try the following.

Find a colored image of the Antechamber of KV62 with the two black sentinel statues. (The Griffith Institute website has it.)

Load the image in Microsoft Paint, select all and invert the colors.

Compare the result with image of the figure that was found in niche of the north wall of the burial chamber.

This will hint at the complexity of information that was in the tomb.

Other references inform that the two statues are not representations of Tutankhamun.

Two examples - small golden shrine and painted box

Both show Tut in a chair shooting arrows with his wife next to him.

I also posted this elsewhere: (I hear your frustration in that you don't understand the exercise I suggested).

I suggested you look at them in MS Paint (a tool) to demonstrate color inversion references that were in the tomb.
The figure found in north wall niche of KV62's burial chamber has a black headdress that has puzzled Egyptologists for explanation. The black headdress is a confirmation reference to indicate correct understanding and application of color inversion as pertains to the sentinel statues.
Color of the statues normalize when colors are inverted. Their headdresses become black.
The same effect (and reference) can be achieved manually but I thought MS Paint made more sense.
The Egyptians were demonstrating photo negative in the tomb.

The skin of the statues is black to represent rebirth, and in this aspect they are associated with the two small statues of Ihy found in the tomb.

The different headdresses inform about their identities and you missed their walking sticks that are differently positioned. The sticks inform about their functionality in the tomb.

Hello karnsculpture,

I thought more about your position (the seated images). I concede to your observations.

I had to think about why you are right and about my opposition to your factual observation. You and others are not wrong about such functional observations in the tomb (KV62).

My attempted opposition was faulty because there is no contradiction between my findings and such as your observed proofs. Let me explain.

The tomb and burial of Tutankhamun is a construction to convince (which is different in nuance than a construction to deceive).

Objects in the tomb labelled with signifiers of Tutankhamun are presumed to be his.

[Nicholas Reeves observed (an anomaly?) of the golden burial mask re-inscribed for Tutankhamun. I consider that it would be insult for a pharaoh to wear the face of another person for eternity because whose face is more worthy to grace a pharaoh than his own?]

Continuing, objects not inscribed in the tomb with his name are naturally presumed to represent him. So, observations do in fact find some inscriptions and assumptions are made that other objects represent Tutankhamun.

I was mistaken as I don’t need to refute your observations because they are validly in the construction of the tomb.

I must (need to) demonstrate elements that reveal the construction which involves and are additional (not oppositional) information in the tomb.

So, thanks for helping me see my fault.
