Living Images.
Tut’ankhamun is famous for the Restoration of traditional temples. But what did that involve? Records from the King’s reign give us insight to the practical business. We see the repairs of Karnak and Luxor Temples, royal decrees for new statues, and the man who made the gods’ holy images…

Just wondering if you consider the new time line regarding ancient Egypt being much, much older and the consideration of possible technology used then as opposed to what the old, worn out keepers-of-the-gate of Egyptology in universities insist upon maintaining. They seem intent on dismissing updated information because SOME PEOPLE (?) are funding them to maintain old outdated story lines.
Begging the question: Have professors in these departments become old and lazy and choosing to remain ignorant or are they being “paid” to shut-up by supporting previous archaeologists’ findings instead of facts. Loyalty to the “old guard” as it were…instead of truth.
Dear Sharon, thank you for your question. Unfortunately you seem to be labouring under a misapprehension about archaeology’s financial status. We are not in the business of conspiracies or peddling junk science for the sake of selling books and tv shows. Archaeological departments are chronically underfunded worldwide, and historians labour as much from passion as from gainful employment (99% of graduates never find a job). I believe the precursor civilisation crowd are spreading misinformation based on ignorance and / or greed, and they undermine trust in scientific inquiry for the sake of convincing others to buy their stories. No one is paying Egyptologists anything. If you believe that is the case, there is not much I can do to change your mind. I would merely suggest that the history of ancient Egypt (and early human societies generally) is far more interesting than the science fiction those people offer.
Dom. I loved the “Amun and have your Aten, too” quip. I laughed out loud.
Thank you 😊
Me too.
