Ancient Egyptian Mysteries: Tomb of King Tut and Amarna
We are returning to Ancient Egypt tonight, with an episode filled with mysteries. The discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun in 1922, by the archaeologist Howard Carter, captivated audiences around the world and represented a major find for egyptology. I will tell you about the tomb and some of the many artifacts discovered still intact when the chamber was opened in 1923, and also discuss the rumors of a supposed "curse of the pharaohs". Is there anything to it?
Tutankhamun's predecessor on the throne of Egypt was a singular figure in the long list of Egyptian pharaohs: Amenhotep IV, also known as Akhenaten, the "heretic pharaoh". Together with his queen, Nefertiti, Akhenaten promoted the cult of a new supreme god, Aten, and founded a new capital, Akhetaten. Akhetaten (now known as Amarna) was supposed to replace Thebes and mark the beginning of a new golden age for Egypt. But when Amenhotep/Akhenaten died in 1346 BC, the city was abandoned shortly after, partially destroyed, and the old religious order was restored. We will explore this chapter of Egyptian history too and talk about the ruins of Amarna, which are now an extensive ancient Egyptian archeological site.
