Ankhesenpaaten Tasherit

Post by Frater0082 »

Okay I have a mission for all you Egyptologists in Egypt and forum members in Egypt I want you all to focus on the small things first and the first would be KV21A.

I would like for you all to prove that she is Ankhesenpaaten Tasherit(or not) and the other mummy is her mother who is possibly Nebetnehat or Sitamun.

KV21B is likely Nebetnehat though. I want you to also prove thay perhaps maybe Nebetnehat wad one of the King Amenhotep III's eldest daughters.

This is a very important discovery as it could rewrite what we know about Ankhesenpaaten Tasherit. Thus to prove that it was she not the original that married Tutankhamun.

Site History
It has been suggested that the tomb was a queen's burial. Two female mummies were found, with their left arm crossed on their chest, a pose only used for queens. Vandals entered the tomb after its discovery in 1817, broke up the mummies, hauled them up to the first corridor B, and shattered some large white pots.

Dating:
This site was used during the following period(s):
New Kingdom, Dynasty 18 (date based on architectural typology)

History of Exploration
Belzoni, Giovanni Battista (1817): Discovery
Belzoni, Giovanni Battista (1817): Excavation (conducted for Henry Salt)
Burton, James (1825): Mapping/planning
Lefébure, Eugène (1889): Mapping/planning
Ryan, Donald P. (1989-1990): Excavation
Conservation
Conservation history: In 1990 a security gate was installed and to protect the bedrock during clearing, wooden steps were added. The mummies were reassembled and returned to the burial chamber in a specially constructed case.
Site condition: The tomb suffered damage only after its modern discovery. Burton referred to it as a "clean new tomb" which had escaped even water damage. The second opening of the tomb in 1989, however, revealed that the tomb had suffered flood damage and was filling with silt debris. Standing water damaged artifacts in the burial chamber as well as mummies which had been ravaged by vandals ? following the tomb's initial opening in 1817.

That beggars belief but who knows ?

The Vandals were an East Germanic tribe, or group of tribes, who were first heard of in southern Poland, but later moved around Europe establishing kingdoms in Spain and later North Africa in the 5th century.

I never mention this before but back when I was younger I had a vision of two very young children being in a crowded room before a bunch of adults.

The boy was obviously afraid and the little girl just stood there. The boy had on a lot and heavy jewelry as so as his bride. Being so young when I got this vision I didn't pay it any mind but now I understand that this was the coronation ceremony of Tutankhamun.

Tut was about six years old when he was crowned the heir of the throne.

The little girl next to him confirms me that he married Ankhesenpaaten Tasherit not the original Ankhesenpaaten.
