Human remains in this one, just for Bullet Magnet!

Aww, when i read the headline i was hoping it was "Hung Foot's" tomb!

Thank You Glyph Ah finally, but Not a mummy, just a skeleton, but canopic jars are found...
I wonder what happened there ?

This guy, Seneb-Kay only gets a wooden sarcophagus in 1650, and they couldn't be bothered mummifying him after taking out his organs and putting them into canopic jars.

Yet that King Sobekhotep 1763 ( 113 years earlier ? ) gets a 60 tonne lump of stone all the way from Cairo.. But, we don't have a body or inscriptions on the sarcophagus..
The burial sites don't really compare either, better and heavier stone in the King Sobekhotep tomb walls, made from the same stone from Cairo..

Those are the sort of things that I notice...

One to ponder..

Well anything valuable (e.g. gold) would have been stolen long ago. Of course, it's not so easy to make off with a 60 ton sarcophagus.

Lol I wouldn't be there I would be in Nubia in the area of Irem.

That's a huge looking man though if its a man

What dynasty is he from?

That's a huge looking man. So he hailed from the 13 Dynasty

So with the discovery of a new king wouldn't that change many of the dates of reigns around and after this period.

It is likely that this king may be the Sebkay mentioned by MacIver and Mace in el Ahram, 1899-1901. The difference is the wavy letter 'n'. I have examined both cartouches, and they are very similar.

Aah Abydos what home used to be. I wonder if they could find the palace that stood tall on a hill looking into the city. I bet they can and I bet that palace dates back to this time too and reused by later pharoahs well minus the Amarna Dynasty.

So what dynasty is this is it between the 13 or early 18 dynasty

It would have been contempary with 15th and 16th Dynasties [about 1600 - 1650 BCE] (ie; concurrent with the Hyksos Dynasties which ruled in the delta)

Oh k thanks

This is very interesting I wonder how the Abydos dynasty came to be I wonder how they fell from power

did anyone notice how relatively huge the skeleton was. he was tall and big almost like a minature giant

I'm sorry Frater but I find your post sometimes so difficult to understand what on earth is a minature giant?

Or was it a giant dwarf?

Dear Frater, I think he means a miniature giant like Bullet Magnet ?

Oh like a 9ft tall kind of person he looks huge
