Pharaonic tomb find stuns Egypt BBC, February 10, 2006










Archaeologists have discovered an intact, ancient Egyptian tomb in the Valley of the Kings, the first since King Tutankhamun's Tomb was found in 1922. The tomb contains five sarcophagi with mummies, breaking the nearly century long belief that there's nothing more to find in the valley where some of Egypt's greatest pharaohs were buried.

Found in the tomb was the red granite head of King Amenhotep III , father of the Pharaoh Akhenaten.





Researchers discover 3,400-year-old artifact depicting Queen Ti MSNBC, January 25, 2006

Egyptologists have discovered a statue of Queen Ti, wife of one of EgyptÕs greatest pharaohs and grandmother to the boy-king Tutankhamun, at an ancient temple in Luxor, an Egyptian antiquities official said. The roughly 3,400-year-old statue was well-preserved. Tiy's husband, Amenhotep III, presided over an era which saw a renaissance in Egyptian art. A number of cartouches, or royal name signs, of Amenhotep III were found on the statue, and the statue's design and features allowed researchers to identify it as a New Kingdom, 18th Dynasty statue of Queen Ti. Akhenaten's mother was Queen Tiy, the Chief Queen of pharaoh Amenhotep III and matriarch of the Armana family.




Akhenaten was the son of Amenhotep III and Queen Tiy, a descendent of a Hebrew tribe.
