In
Poland a Kings grave was opened up by 14 scientists. It had been
sealed for 500 years. Inside they found a sword, sceptre and a crown.
These they handled without protective clothing, as well as touching
the mummy. Pope John, then Cardinal, resealed the tomb. Soon 12 of the
14 scientists were dead. Stories of a curse rebounded around Poland.
The "truth" was exactly the same as in Egypt - the same bacteria was
found on the body of the dead King. Tutankhamun's body had started
decomposition BEFORE mummification.
During
investigations into the finding of a complete mummy in Egypt, scientists
found exactly the same bacteria on the body, concentrated around the
ears. These scientists wore masks and gloves and nothing happened to
any of them! What this does not explain are the "coincidences"
surrounding the death of Lord Caernarfon in Cairo. At the same time of
his death, all the lights of Cairo went out. Not unusual you may say -
but consider this, Cairo is split into four electrical districts, N S E
and W. None of which are connected in any way, or where not at the
time. But all 4 districts were shorted out at exactly the same instant!
Also, back home in England, on Lord Caernarfon's estate, the family
dog, at precisely the same time, sat up, howled into the night air,
frothed at the mouth, and fell over completely dead! Bacteria or not,
still it makes you wonder..................
Tutankhamun lived over
3,300 years ago during the period known as the New Kingdom. For two
centuries, Egypt had ruled as a world superpower, while its Royal family
lived the opulent lifestyle. The powerful priesthood of the god Amun
had controlled vast temples and estates. All that changed during the
reign of Amenhotep IV when he renounced the multitude of gods worshipped
by the Egyptians and abolished the priesthood of Amun. Amenhotep
established a new order to worship the sun god Aten and changed his own
name to Akhenaten, meaning "servant of the Aten." A new capital was
established well to the north of Thebes (modern Luxor) the home of the
main temples of Amun. His new city was named Akhetaten, meaning "Horizon
of the Aten."




It
was here that Akhenaten (left) ruled with his chief wife, Nefertiti,
who bore him six daughters, but no son to carry on as Pharaoh. It is now
believed that Akhenaten and a lesser wife named Kiya were the parents
of Tutankhaten, as Tutankhamun was known at first. He would have spent
most of his early years in the palaces of Akhetaten, being tutored in
many skills, including reading and writing. Much is uncertain about this
period and, in time, both Nefertiti's and Kiya's names ceased to appear
in written records. A shadowy figure emerged by the name of Smenkhkare -
he may have been a brother of the king and briefly ruled alongside him.
In any case, soon after the deaths of Akhenaten and Smenkhkare,
Tutankhaten became a Boy King at the age of about nine. He married a
slightly older Ankhesenpaaten (below), one of the daughters of Akhenaten
and Nefertiti.


April
4 2003. A TV Discovery Documentary saw two former FBI agents,
now senior policemen, investigate the death of Tutankhamun quite
thoroughly with forensic and x-ray evidence. Their conclusion:
Tutankhamun was murdered by a scheming double dealing Prime
Minister called Ay, who married and quite possibly murdered
Tutankhamun's widow in order to further his own lust for power.
Tutankhamun was coming of age and this worried Ay, who had been
ruling in the boy's name for the past 10 years. Ay
ruled only 4 years to be replaced by Tutankhamen's General,
Horemheb. Of Queen Ankhsenamun - no trace has been found. Another
theory is mentioned at the base of the text.
Soon their names
were changed to Tutankhamun and Ankhesenamun to reflect the return to
favour of the Amun hierarchy and the ousting of the Aten power base. The
temples of Amun were restored. At such a young age, Tutankhamun would
not have been responsible for the real decision making. This would have
been handled by two high officials called Ay (possibly the father of
Nefertiti) and Horemheb, commander-in-chief of the army.
Sometime around the ninth
year of Tutankhamun's reign, possibly 1325 B.C., he died. There is
evidence of an injury to the skull that had time to partly heal. He may
have suffered an accident, such as falling from his horse-drawn chariot,
or perhaps he was murdered. No one knows. Ay oversaw Tutankhamun's
burial arrangements which lasted 70 days.
Meanwhile, Ankhesenamun
was left in a dilemma - there was no heir to the throne. (Two stillborn
female foetuses were found in the tomb). In desperation she wrote to
Suppiluliumas I, king of the Hittites, asking him to send one of his
sons to marry her and become Pharaoh. Being an enemy of Egypt, the
Hittite king suspected a trick and sent an envoy to check. The widow's
situation was confirmed and he then sent a son who was murdered at the
border - probably by agents sent by General Horemheb.
The ageing Ay became
Pharaoh and took Ankhesenamun as his queen to legitimise his rule. What
happened to her after that is not known. Ay ruled for only four years
and after his death Horemheb grabbed power. He soon obliterated evidence
of the reigns of Akhenaten, Tutankhamun and Ay and substituted his own
name on many monuments.

The
most famous Egyptian pharaoh today is, without doubt, Tutankhamun. The
boy king died in his late teens and remained at rest in Egypt's Valley
of the Kings for over 3,300 years. All that changed in November 1922,
when Tutankhamun's tomb was discovered by the British Egyptologist
Howard Carter who was excavating on behalf of his patron Lord
Caernarfon. His tomb almost escaped discovery and could have been
undiscovered to this day.






Carter
had been searching for the tomb for a number of years and Caernarfon
had decided that enough time and money had been expended with little
return. However, Carter managed to persuade his patron to fund one more
season and within days of resuming the tomb was found. Today, the tomb
still contains the pharaoh's remains, hidden from view inside the
outermost of three coffins. He is the only pharaoh still residing in the
Valley of the Kings - as far as we know!
The tomb itself
is very small and appears to have been destined for someone of lesser
importance. Tutankhamun's unexpected early demise saw the tomb's rushed
modification to accommodate the pharaoh. The only part of the complex
that contains wall paintings is the Burial Chamber. One of the scenes,
shown below, depicts the Opening of the Mouth Ceremony where the senses
are restored to the deceased Tutankhamun. In this case the person
performing this duty is Ay, who became the next Pharaoh.

Adjacent
to the Burial Chamber was the so-called Treasury which was home to much
of the supporting equipment for Tutankhamun's afterlife. It contained a
dazzling array of boats, gilded figures and the canopic chest within
which were various internal organs belonging to the ancient king.
Gathered around the chest in their protective stance were four beautiful
gilded figures of goddesses. Just inside the entrance to the room was
the protective black figure of Anubis in the form of a recumbent jackal.
The Antechamber contained dismantled chariots, containers of food,
various funeral couches, thrones, and two black guardian figures at the
entrance of the Burial Chamber. It was this area that was first seen
when Carter made a hole in the blocked-off far end of the entry passage.
A small Annex was a jumble of other equipment.
Carter concluded that the
tomb had been broken into on two occasions soon after the pharaoh was
buried. After each break-in the tomb was resealed by officials of the
necropolis. Fortunately, the tomb robbers did not get away with too much
and much of the material sealed in with Tutankhamun may now be viewed
in Cairo's Egyptian Museum with a few items in the Luxor Museum.
August 2002.
Startling evidence has come to light about a possible cover up
regarding artefacts found in the tomb. Howard Carter was never patient,
frequently quick tempered. In the spring of 1924, 18 months after the
discovery of the tomb. All work had been brought to a halt. Egyptian
officialdom bombarded Carter to distraction with petty rules and
restrictions. Open war was announced when they announced that they
were laying claim in total to the priceless relics Carter had found.
Strict limits were placed on the number of foreigners allowed to enter
the tomb whilst, at the same time, hordes of local dignitaries flooded
in and out of the tomb - without a care for the priceless and
irreplaceable items strewn about them.
Cater ordered his men,
effectively, to strike! Permission to explore the site was revoked.
Seething with anger Carter confronted officials at the British
Consulate in Cairo. Heated words were exchanged - then Carter made an
extraordinary threat - Unless he got what he wanted he would publish,
for the whole world to read, a set of ancient papyrus documents he had
found in the tomb. These gave the "true account of the Exodus of the Jews from Egypt"!!
To modern ears the full implications may be unclear but, as we shall
see, Carter was threatening truly explosive disclosures - ancient
documents that would do nothing less than re-write the history of
Judaism and Christianity. The British official realised what he was up
to. This was at the same time as tensions were rising over plans to
establish a Jewish homeland in the Middle East. What Carter was
suggesting would throw the Middle East into turmoil. The official was
so incensed he hurled an ink well at Carter, who ducked just in time!
The inkwell exploded against the wall so much so that the room had to
be redecorated!
Carter suddenly found
that he had vigorous support from the British in his fight to regain
control. He was soon placed back in charge and continued his work for
another 7 years. In return for this he never mentioned the documents
again. History deemed that Carter's threat was an idle one - but it
was no invention, and the secrets he may have stumbled upon completely
overturn key elements of the Bible. The implications are enormous -
forcing us to ask whether the person we call Moses was in fact a
renegade Egyptian priest and whether Christianity has its roots begun by
a religious revolution begun by a heretical pharaoh.
The
****************************s of these papyrus documents are so
****************************ious that if they had been made public, may
well have changed the course of the 20th Century completely. The
missing papyri have been the subject of speculation ever since his tomb
was opened. Lord Caernarfon mentioned their discovery in 2 letters to
friends. A report in The Times also mentioned their existence. The
author was extremely close to Carter having exclusive rights to the
story unfolding. Carter cabled a distinguished philologist, Sir Alan
Gardiner, asking for his help in translating the
****************************s. He expressed "particular interest" in
the papyri and suggested that they may throw some light on religion in
the times of the boy king.
It is odd that, later,
the official story changed and everyone began insisting that these
documents never existed!! Carter alleged that the find was in fact
"loin cloths" - the boy kings "underwear"!! And that poor light made
for the misunderstanding. Amusing it may be but can we believe it? Too
many people saw these documents for themselves before they
"disappeared". And an astounding "blunder" for someone of Carter's
standing. Lord Caernarfon himself states that, on their first entry into
the room, it was fully illuminated by electric light. Someone is
clearly lying through their teeth?
Looking a little closer
at this discovery, the official version has Carter uncovering a secret
sunken staircase in the Valley of the Kings. Then penetrating a doorway
sealed with the jackal emblem of Egyptian royalty, then clearing a
rubble strewn corridor leading to another doorway. Making a small
hole, he peers through this doorway to reveal strange animals, statues
and gold, everywhere the glint of gold. With him were Lord Caernarfon
and his daughter Lady Evelyn. They both take their turn to look and
that is all they did. Requiring permission to remove the door and enter,
then reseal the hole, the next day, November 27th 1922, to open in
front of onlooking officials. This sounds all very right and correct
but it is not what happened!
Curiosity got the better
of Carter and his associates - they entered the ante room on first
discovery and THEN resealed the hole. To play act the "official
opening" the next day. There is also undisputable evidence that this
party breached the doorway of another ante room the same day and
entered the Kings burial chamber. This was 3 months before the
"official opening" of the burial chamber. He concealed the hole that he
had made by erecting a wooden platform over the floor level hole he had
crawled through. Who revealed all this? The Lady Evelyn to another
member of her family. This was then recorded in his diary and gave a
description of how Carter, in front of dignitaries, was "nervous, poor
old fellow, like a naughty schoolboy, fearing that his hole would be
discovered". He also had a copy made of the royal seal which covered
the door, to replace the one removed upon his illicit entry.
He passed off the fake
as the work of grave robbers, repairs done by the ancient Egyptians
themselves. Such evidence alone should make us wonder if Carter and
Carnarfon pocketed a sizable amount themselves before resealing the
doorway. This apparently DID happen. Treasures later revealed in
their personal collections leave us in no doubt. The tomb WAS robbed,
but very soon after sealing it up. Tutankhamun's Finance Minister had
it repaired and he personally destroyed all records of the tomb's
whereabouts which quite probably accounts for its undisturbed state for
so long. I wonder if the priests of Amun had anything to do with the
robbery? Outside the Palace, they were the richest people in the land.
So what did the missing
papyrus contain that made them so dangerous if revealed? Their apparent
subject matter, The Exodus, is one of the most important stories of
the bible. According to the bible, the Hebrews arrived in Egypt from
Canaan. Their leader in Egypt was Joseph who had been sold into slavery
by his brothers, only to become a power in the court due to his
ability to interpret dreams. However, the Jews multiplied so swiftly
the Egyptians saw them as a threat and forced them into slavery. All
male children were ordered to be slain in order to keep their
population down but one child escaped. His name was Moses, brought up
as an Egyptian and became a mighty general in the Pharaoh's army before
fleeing after murdering an Egyptian who had beaten up a Jew.
For 40 years he lived in
the wilderness where "god" appeared to him as a burning bush, charging
him to lead the people out of Egypt "unto a land flowing with milk and
honey". Moses demanded the release of his people on his return to
Egypt and when this was refused, devastating plagues were brought down
on the country until the Pharaoh relented, allowing them to leave. Thus
- The Exodus. This is how it happened according to the bible. By the
time that Carter threatened to reveal the documents, orthodox thinking
was already beginning to question this version. Arthur Weigall, a
leading Egyptologist, was an expert on Tuktankhamun's half brother and
predecessor Akhenaten. He was one of those who questioned the biblical
"Exodus".
Akhenaten was the
husband of the beautiful Queen Nefertiti. He was famous for having
broken away from the traditional multi-god society that had been
practised for about 2000 years and installed a single God - the "Aten"
an all powerful force symbolised by the heat of the suns rays. This
lasted only about 12 years before Tutankhamun gained the throne and the
old order was gradually restored. Arthur Weigall uncovered remarkable
similarities between Psalm 104 and an "ode" to Ra, composed by
Akhenaten himself. In his opinion, Psalm 104 was a copy of the ode
itself. Indeed, the ode was written before Moses allegedly wrote Psalm
104. He also argued that it was during the reign of Tutankhamun that
the Exodus actually took place. 20 years later Sigmund Freud would
express the same theory in two major papers. Evidence to back this
also comes from the hebrew word for Lord - Adonai or Adon, becomes
Aten, the name of the sun, when written in Egyptian. These were set
out by Arthur Weigall in a book published a few months before Carter's
declaration before the Consulate. Carter did read it, but the men were
such bitter rivals that Carter may have paid no heed to these theories.
But Carter was convinced that the exodus took place BEFORE the
closure of the boy kings tomb, otherwise how could he claim that the
documents revealed the true story of the Exodus. Weigall's theory also
fits the likely facts about the collapse of Akhenaten's religious
revolution. It is known that these priests and converts did not simply
disappear when the boy king took the throne, they became social lepers
and outcasts. This is relevant in that a story not unlike The Exodus,
the ancient Egyptian Manetho, writing about 250BC, recorded how one
pharaoh had expelled "lepers" and "impure people" from Egypt. These so
called lepers included some of the learned priests; one of whom,
Osarsiph, ordered the people not to follow the Egyptian gods and to
follow their own laws instead.
Later, according to
Manetho, Osarsiph changed his name - to Moses. Rather than being anti
semetic, Manetho was referring to these "lepers" as being - in the eyes
of the opponent - holding with heretical beliefs. Other writers
describe a king, in order to placate his people, expelling the
"unclean" by being forced out of Egypt - led by an Egyptian! Evidence
shows that, during the reign of Tutankhamun, northern Egypt was in the
grip of a plague. It decimated the population and lasted about 20 - 30
years. It is quite plausible to see stories about the killing of
Egypt's firstborn on the night of the Passover as having its roots in
this plague. The people would naturally look for someone to blame,
their former King being particularly handy. To cleanse the land of his
pollution they swept the land of undesirables, along with any other
suspicious looking foreigners and settlers. Having received a warning,
these people would have took it upon themselves to leave forthwith.
If this was the story as
told in Carter's papyrus, it would have been easy to throw the Middle
East into turmoil. In the 20s, the local politics were as tangled as
they are today - with the rights of a Jewish homeland at the middle of
the turmoil. Arab opinion was outraged, with riots in Jerusalem and
Jaffa. The whole area was rife for bloody battle and a tinderbox. In
these circumstances, Carter's threat to reveal the truth could hardly
have been more inflammatory. The whole basis of the Zionist claim rested
upon the story of the Exodus and opponents of the Zionist state would
have jumped upon this and seized any hint that it was flawed. After
all, if Moses and his followers were renegade Egyptians, together with
this selection of outcast foreigners - what special claim could they
possibly have to a "homeland" - Israel. Carter was in a position to
cause the Zionists serious, possibly irrevocable, harm. No wonder the
British wholeheartedly threw themselves behind Carter's claims to be
reinstated at the site. What happened to the papyri? Did Carter destroy
them or leave them hidden deep in some Cairo Museum? Are they lying in
a draw, hidden beneath some relatively insignificant papyri? By the
evidence of Lord Caernarfon's own letters, it is clearly apparent that
he was privy to the existence of the papyri, was he also aware of their
****************************s. Some have blamed his untimely death on
the Curse - but the truth may be even stranger? Now, in 2007, we have a
glut of so called "conspiracy theories" on everything from Adam &
Eve to the source of the bullet that killed X, Y or Z. I am not one of
these people who delight in so called conspiracy theories, I just think
that what we are told is not always the truth. Tutankhamun was killed,
yes, posssibly by Ay. But an equally practical theory places
Tutankhamun's death as the result of a chariot accident. We will never
really KNOW, will we? Items are found in tombs that could throw modern
beliefs into turmoil so are hidden away, either by Archaeologists who do
not want their own beliefs questioned or by religious people who do not
want the "good life" to be terminated.
