    Was the throne held by a Queen before Tutankhamun was old enough to rule?
    If so, who was this Queen? Or even better, as this story slash theory is quite juicy, who were these Queens?
    It’s a question that Egyptologists, researchers and historians have asked themselves for many decades now, and it seems that they are agreeing on the answer after all this time.
    It starts in the 18th dynasty of ancient Egypt, King Amenhotep III and Queen Tiye had a son; Amenhotep IV but he is better known to the world as Akhenaten.
    Akhenaten had a Royal wife; Nefertiti, although her lineage is uncertain.
    There are theories about who her parents are, for instance Ay and his wife Tey are sometimes ascribed to be her parents, but they’ve never been explicitly called her father or mother in any existing sources.
    It’s been proposed that Nefertiti was Athenaten’s full sister, but this is contradicted by her titles as she doesn’t bear any titles that are used by the daughters of a Pharaoh.
    There is another theory about her lineage that does make sense when looking at one of her titles.
    The title is; “The beautiful woman has come” and it may signify a foreign origin.
    Some scholars believe she is a Mitanni princess named Tadukhipa from Mesopotamia.
    If this is true it would break the Royal Bloodline as we have discussed in my previous video.
    Looking into the Linage of Nefertiti only makes me more confused, so I personally feel like she’s either a full sister of Akhenaten or the daughter of the later Pharaoh Ay.
    Now that you are all equally as confused as I am, let’s take a look into Akhenaten’s reign and why any information from this period is extremely hard to come by.
    Akhenaten as Pharaoh abolished Polytheism (The worshipping of multiple Gods) in Egypt and introduced Atenism a form of monotheism, the worship centered around 1 God; Aten.
    Not only did he change the entire base of religion in his empire, he also moved the Capital from Thebes modern day Luxor in the Luxor Governorate to Akhetaten modern day Amarna in the Minya Governorate.
    The location of Akhetaten was approximately halfway between Thebes in the South and Memphis in the North on the east bank of the Nile river.
    Besides these 2 radical decisions Akhenaten also made the revolutionary decision to make his favorite Queen and Great Wife Nefertiti a full equal in rank and statues, Elevating her status as Royal Wife and Queen to Co-Pharaoh, joint ruler.
    Because of these choices Akhenaten made there was much unrest in the Egyptian Kingdom, the economy was shattered and to make it even worse near the end of his reign a devastating plague might have come down on his people.
    The coregency Stela that according to some scholars might depict Nefertiti was recarved to show the names Ankhesenpaaten and Neferneferuaten.
    Egyptologist Aidan Dodson proposed that the daughters Ankhesenpaaten and Neferneferuaten were chosen to rule as coregents to Tutankhamun in the case of Akhenaten passing away and Tutankhamun being to young to rule.
    In the 17th year of Akhenaten’s rule he died, while Tutankhamun was approximately 5 or 7 years of age.
    The actual age of Tutankhamun at the time of Akhenaten’s death is unclear because there is debate about the year Akhenaten started and ended his reign.
    Akhenaten might have reigned from 1353 - 1336 BCE or from 1351 - 1334 BCE.
    Tutankhamun was born in 1341 BCE as Tutankhaten.
    Either way, the actual age doesn’t necessarily matter, what matters is that it’s clear that Tutankhamun was too young to reign the kingdom of Egypt and therefore couldn’t take the throne after his father Akhenaten died.

      "tsar feodore IV": actually the bible will explain everything.I propose the following :
      Egyptian society allowed for freedom of various religions until akenatin. This ended the rights of the Jews to worship Am-god in the wilderness like they had for hundreds of years. You correct when you say that something bad happened near the end of akenatin's reign - the death of the first born. King Tut THE BOY KING had to rule cause his older brother( by incest) smenhare died in the death of the firstborn. After tut Nefertiti disguise herself in the ailas of pharoh Ai ! The economy of Egypt got recked by the plagues so the people might have wanted nothing to do with Nefertiti.
      Since you like history would you like to do a story on me ? What would you do if I told you that tsar nicholas had secret grandchildren and that I decended from nicholas ? Orthodox prophecy said that the next tsar will come the matriarchal line (? Vladyka theophan). Assuming certain things I got the throne from male to male abdication even though I come from the matriarchal line of the tsar nicholas's daughter. The male chauvinist vatican infiltrated "orthodox" church don't want me coming to power over russia and bellorussia and ukraine cause I will purify the church (? vladyka theophan) of it's male chauvinism and allow woman preachers . Support a rival eastern union under myself including russia and bellorussia and ukraine.

    Tutankhamen's was robbed in antiquity. In fact, it was found to have been robbed twice. The first time was likely very shortly after the interment to get the precious oils/unguents & wines before they could spoil. The second time was sometime later & concentrated on stealing small, portable, high value items like gold & gemstone jewelry. Afterwards, the entrance to his tomb was callously covered with rubble from the building of a nearby tomb. Having rubble cover his tomb concealed it & that's why it's the most intact royal tomb found thus far.

    @4:10 - The two figures who sit below the Atem are two women.
    - They are misidentified to be Akhenaten and [Nefertiti].
    - Akhenaten is within the sun disc with his father that is The Aten. They shine on the women and children in the scene.
    - The figure at left who is mistaken for Akhenaten has a post partem sagging belly.
    She holds one child.
    (Recent birth of a child? Tut?)
    - The other woman (Nefertiti) did not recently give birth but has two children on her.
    Her eldest daughter sits across from her (holding her grandson).
    - The Aten above them is Akhenaten and his father.
    @9:40 - 9:55 is affirmed that four children of nine survived. Three girls and Tutankhamun.
    The iconography is intricately complex.
    Akhenaten looks upon the mother with his son, but that is a much lengthier explanation than can be made here.

His parents were siblings, his paternal grandparents were either full or half-siblings, and likewise his paternal great-grandparents were full or half-siblings.

    Nefertiti is a full sister of Akhenaten.
    She bore her father's daughter Meritaten.
    - Meritaten and Akhenaten conceived Tutankhamun.
    - Nefertiti and Akhenaten conceived Ankhesenamun (who became queen to Tutankhamun).
    It's all recorded in Tut's tomb.
    The three nested coffins represent his maternal lineage.
    - Outermost is Queen Tiye.
    - Middle is Tiye's daughter, Nefertiti.
    - Innermost gold Coffin is Meritaten (Tut's mother).
    - The gold mask is Ankhesenamun (daughter of Nefertiti and sister of Meritaten).
    - The abused mummy is a servant to represent the king because the martial king can't be found like a dependent child in womb of his mother and surrounded by women.
    So, where is the king? Undisturbed.
    The tomb speaks but has been misunderstood.

He was the only child to Queen Tuya and Akhenaten.

    I believe the "mainstream" theory is that Smenkhkare was in a co-regency with Akhenaten late in his reign, but did not live to have a separate reign of his own (probably died during the supposed plague). Smenkhkare was married to Meritaten (not to Akhenaten, her father; not that this didn't occur). As for Nefertiti, in 2014 an inscription was found that indicated that both Akhenaten and Nefertiti were both alive (year 16 of Akhenaten). The succession order is theorized as this: Akhenaten-->Smenkhkare in co-regency (and died before Akhenaten). After Smenkhkare died, Nefertiti assumed the co-regency as Neferneferuaten, and then became Pharaoh after Akhenaten died. The "alternative" to Nefertiti assuming the throne (she may have died just before Akhenaten) is Meritaten assuming the co-regency after the death of Smenkhkare, and thus assuming the throne as Neferneferuaten (Ankhkheperure-Merit-Neferkheperure). After Neferneferuaten's death, Tutankhaten succeeds, with Ay as vizier (then successor).
    As for the grave goods in Tutankhaten's tomb, it is speculated that these may have been made for whomever was Neferneferuaten (I lean toward Meritaten) and ultimately Tutankhaten's tomb may have been meant for Meritaten, but the boundary stone at Akhetaten states that Meritaten was to be buried in the royal necropolis at Akhetaten, leaving the question open.
    Tutankhaten's wife was definitely Ankhesenpaaten (she was too young to assume the throne on her own; the relief at 5:26 is most likely them due to the cane that the male is holding...his club foot). After Tutankhaten's death, it is speculated that Ankhesenpaaten may have written the "letter" (found in the library of Hattusa) to the Hittite king asking for one of his sons to become her husband (and be king). Whether or not this happened, it is (again) speculated that Ankhesenpaaten was "married" to Ay...then "disappeared" (Ay's wife Tey as shown as the "Great Royal Wife).
    The timeline is definitely up for debate due to the "damnatio memoriae" and destruction done by Horemheb and the Priests of Amun in Thebes. I don't necessarily think it was done due to the female succession in the later 18th Dynasty. Earlier in the dynasty, it is though that Thutmose I may not have been the son of Amenhotep I and his tie to the throne was through his wife Ahmose (who was herself not a daughter of Amenhotep I, but of a sibling to the king...keeping the kingship in the royal family). Then there is the business of Hatshepsut. There are records of prior female pharaohs in previous dynasties (including the very 1st dynasty) as well as succeeding dynasties; it may have been rare and unusual, but not absolutely forbidden as far as I'm aware of.
    My thinking for the reason for the "damnatio" was exclusively due the heretical "Atenism". As my "Doktor Vater" put it, "You can kill a man's dog, but if you screw with his religion, war will break out."

    There is an amazing book written by Mary Nell Wyatt entitled THE BATTLE FOR THE FIRST BORN in which she gives a convincing argument that Hatshepsut was the adoptive mother of Moses, and Senenmut was Moses. It's a total eye-opener, and fits the Egyptology much better than the compounded errors that currently exist. Hope you'll read it soon!

  • @deviantoutcast
    @deviantoutcast Před 2 lety +1

    NOTE: Offical Ancient Egyptian texts never mentions the deaths of a pharaoh, or really any one. This is due to the Ancient Egyptian belief that that which is written (or rather: depicted, as there is no distinction between what we consider "the written word", and what we view as "artistic representations" i.e paintings, reliefs, and statues) comes into being. So for example, when Hatshepsut at her mortuary temple Deir el-Bahari (Ancient Egyptian: _Ḏsr-ḏsrw_ ) depicts her mother, the Great Royal Wife Ahmose (daughter of Ahmose I, founder of the 18:th dynasty), being visited by the god Amun in the guise of her father Tuthmosis I, impregnating her and subsequently giving birth to Hatshepsut, legitimizing Hatshepsut as pharaoh of Egypt by making her the direct descendent of Amun; the King of the Gods and the chief god of Waset (later known by its Greek name: Thebes, today: Karnak). The divine birth of Hatshepsut becomes real and perpetual: repeated for eternity for as long as the depictions and names remain.
    Making this the backdrop, it's easy to understand why every single pharaoh, or other notable person we read about, always seem to "disappear from the records" - because that's exactly what happens as by recording the death of a pharaoh' would follow its perpetual repetition and it was of absolute vital importance for the continuation of existence that the pharaoh came to life, enabling him to join Ra at the helm of the celestial bark, fighting off the snake Apopis, and securing the Sun god safe passage during the dark hours of the Night.
    Cheers! and Stay Safe!
    _(Note: The true origin of the Great Royal Wife Ahmose, mother of Hatshepsut, is disputed. What's known is that she was of true royal descent, but the claim I'm making here: that she was the daughter of Ahmose I, is only one out of several proposed alternative, though it is the one I personally find to be the most probable one. )_

    It seems more likely that the original theory that Meritaten was married to Semenkara, Tutankhamon's older brother and Meritaten's half-brother. That would parallel other Egyptian marriages and follow suite for how Akhenaten later handled Tutankhamon. The death of both Semenkare and Meritaten, perhaps from disease, would explain why Tutankhamon came to the throne and what happened to Meritaten.

    Ancient Egypt has always fascinated me…I started an opera based upon a minor priest, a “cutter”, who would go to the dead body and make cuts so the other priests could remove body parts for preservation…because cutting the body was taboo, others would ceremoniously drive the cutter out of the preparation chamber….in my opera this cutter eventually becomes pharaoh through many intrigues….

    So in Badhoovedorp (outside Amsterdam), there was a shwarma and pizza place that was owned by some Coptic Egyptian guys. I once mentioned that I had been to their home (sadly Christians in Egypt have been persecuted even in modern times, so they had taken their families to the Netherlands). From then on I was part of the family and loved hearing their views on the ancients. It's a topic I've been fascinated with and absolutely love Kayleigh's in depth dives into the subject.
