M7 Mike Costa Lives: The Mystery of Tut-ankh-Amon (new theories); Hidden rooms in KV62?

The Mystery of Tutankhamon (An Excerpt):

This book is from my original research mixed with contemporary Egyptology and from recent Genetic tests on the mummy of Pharaoh Tutankhamon.

Chapter 1:

In Egyptologist Dr. Nicholas Reeves’ book, “The Complete Tutankhamun,” he mentions the original red granite lid (cracked in 2 parts) found on top of the yellow quartzite sarcophagus that held the coffins. This means the original burial of Tutankhamun had a red granite sarcophagus. Reeves has recent theories suggesting Queen Nefertiti is in KV62-B based on artwork that was painted over in the tomb, and that the tomb was designed for a female. He also believes that Smenkhkara is Nefertiti.

KV62 originally was intended for Smenkhkara and was violated during Tut’s reign. The second coffin has a male face on it, not Tutankhamun. It is thought this male is Smenkhkara, the husband of Queen Meritaton (a daughter of Akhenaton). There is an unidentified mummy in tomb KV55 which people accept is Akhenaton based on its coffin’s condition and genetic ties to Tut. The KV55 mummy is the “son of Amonhotep 3 Nebmaatra and Queen Tiye,” and a “male relative of Tutankhamun” such as a “Father, Brother, or Uncle.” Dr. Zahi Hawass said that “Ay is the brother of Tutankhamun,” who performed last rites for Tut on the burial chamber in KV62. Is KV55 Mummy actually his brother Ay?

Younger Lady Mummy is “the mother of Tutankhamon” based only on Genetics. She is also the sister of KV55 Mummy. Ay said on his monuments that he is the “son of Amonhotep 3 Nebmaatra.” There is also speculation he is related to Queen Tiye (wife of Nebmaatra). Ay also confiscated monuments of Tutankhamun by placing his names on them, as did General Horemhab (the Crown Prince/successor to Tutankhamun), who also claimed relationship with Nebmaatra.

In Egypt the royal lineage was not via the son of the King, but via the Queen or female royal line. Male heirs occur in European Feudalism. Egyptian Feudalism was from the Female heir or marriage to her. This is why Male Pharaohs marry their own daughters to maintain legitimacy after their Queen dies. Ramses the Great did this, as did Akhenaton and Amonhotep 3 Nebmaatra.

Amonhotep 3 Nebmaatra introduced one of his daughters to his son Amonhotep 4 (Akhenaton) whom was living in the Harem in Malqata (Luxor, Egypt). The Harem woman’s name was “The Beautiful Woman has arrived,” whom you know as Nefertiti. Before he gave his son this woman he had to test her ability to produce a male heir. The Harem was designed to maintain fertility of the King. So they mated and produced a son, Tutankhuaton, the “bodily son of the King.” Nebmaatra was the father, and subsequent Grandfather, of Tutankhuaton. Nefertiti and Akhenaton were about the same age, but produced only female heirs. So Akhenaton later abandoned Nefertiti and mated his eldest daughters.

Amonhotep 3 Nebmaatra co-ruled with his son a long time, and Tutankhuaton was born during the last year of this co-regency. Afterwards Amonhotep 4 changed his name to Akhenaton and caused problems in Egyptian society while ruling with Nefertiti. He introduced religious reforms, did nothing to maintain the Empire, closed temples, destroyed statues of the Polytheist Gods, and ordered all offerings go to his only Temple of Aton in his City of the Sun. Riots were the result. So he made sure never to leave his City in fear of assassination.

Egyptian Feudalism was a Temple economy. The Temples owned most of the land, for farming, by the 18^th Dynasty. Pharaoh owned less than that. So Akhenaton invented a new God as State God (Aton), and said only the King could worship Aton as its High Priest. This was entirely Political. When people refused, he cracked down on the dissent. The Empire crumbled, alliances ended, and enemies invaded or moved up the boundary markers. Akhenaton consolidated the Temple economy from Polytheism to Monotheism. Plural of Deity was effaced from Temples and other monuments. This was forced on the people. His new City was built by forced labor, as indicated by the skeletal remains of his young builders.

Because problems arose when ruling alone, Akhenaton had another co-regency with his heirs. Nefertiti did most of the work when ruling with her husband Akhenaton. She was not an independent Pharaoh. Akhenaton was an inept ruler and possible drug addict (Lotus, Mandrakes, Cannabis, etc.). He married Meritaton as Queen, and Ankhesenpaaton as his co-ruler, Ankhkheperura, the female Smenkhkara. An unfinished statue of Akhenaton kissing Ankhesenpaaton (his favorite) exists.

Tutankhamun has a clothing mannequin with a Nefertiti style crown on it. If the original painting in KV62 was Tut performing last rites for her, why was it painted over? The mural was painted after the (hidden) chambers were sealed, so the original painting was not there when it was done because of where the “door” is located behind the Setem Priest. The wall would not be there either. The mural was completed at night and the tomb was sealed while the paint was wet (there is black mold on the mural).

The Younger Lady Mummy would be Nefertiti, the mother of Tutankhamun. She is the daughter of Amonhotep 3 Nebmaatra. Nebmaatra also mated his parent to produce his “sister/daughter Sitamum.” Sitamun means “Daughter of Amun.” Nebmaatra has a sister and daughter both named Sitamun. This is Egyptian Incest. It is reflected in the religion of Osiris, whom mated his sister Isis. Tutankhamon was buried as Osiris. Tut mated another female (a sister, probably Bakhetaton) to produce 2 still-born daughters found in KV62. Bakhetaton was probably the daughter of Tiye and Akhenaton. Both she and Tut have the inherited disorder Clubbed Foot from Amonhotep 3 Nebmaatra. KV55 Mummy doesn’t have this. Genetic Disorders are common with Incest.

Chapter 2:

Ankh-kheperura was co-ruler with her father Akhenaton until he died or was assassinated. She ruled alone for a few months until an heir was found (Tutankhamun), whom she married. If Akhenaton “exiled Meritaton and the male Smenkhkara” did they reside in Scotland? The legendary founder of Scotland was “Scotia” whom some say is Meritaton, and an Egyptian burial was found there with Egyptian Faience beads. “In 1955 Archaeologist Dr. Sean O’Riordan of Trinity College in Dublin made a discovery at Tara, the site of Ancient Kingship of Ireland. Bronze Age skeletal remains of a young Prince, who wore a necklace of Egyptian Faience beads was found… A stone originally from Egypt was brought to Scotland from Ireland known as the Stone of Destiny.”

“The 12^th Century sources state that Scota was the daughter of an Egyptian Pharaoh, a contemporary of Moses, who married Geytholos (Goidel Glas) and became the eponymous founders of the Scots and Gaels after being exiled from Egypt.”

In 2010 Dr. Zahi Hawass tested the mummy of Tutankhamun with Genetics. He found that the DNA of Tut had “European markers,” R1bla2 haplo group found in 50% of Western Europe, and in Spain/Britain of 70%.

In KV63 a part of Ankhesenpaaton’s name was found (Pa-Aton) along with a termite-infested wooden coffin that resembles her. The tomb is located near KV62.

Chapter 3:

The original tomb for the female Smenkhkara was in KV62; it would be a family tomb. After it was violated initially, Tut saved it for himself until he could build a larger one. It was not his tomb, yet he is buried there. It was Ankhesenpaaton on the mural as practice, which was painted over when the tomb was actually occupied. The wall needed to be there for a complete picture, so the wall was added then painted. This meant the occupant was in there before the wall was put in. If Nefertiti was dead the wall was added after her burial and painted, not repainted, opened and resealed. So Nefertiti cannot be in KV62B.

If by violated this meant the hidden chamber was breached and “Nefertiti” was removed, perhaps. Then Ankhesenamon was interred and it was sealed. Once Ankh was in the hidden chamber, Tut was crammed into the remaining space as his tomb so as to fool any thief that this is all they would find. Egyptians loved to make fake passages to fool tomb thieves since the Pyramid Age.

In the process of moving items, some of her trappings are placed into KV63 tomb temporarily. A coffin containing pillows represents a fake burial weighted with pillows in place of a mummy. Coffins in Tut’s burial are gold-covered wood. The yellow face is where the gold is added.

Tut’s original sarcophagus was red granite – the only known red granite one is in King Ay’s tomb KV23. It was found smashed and was restored in modern times. Horemhab (the Crown Prince) was angry that Ay was Pharaoh after Tut “died” so he destroyed Ay’s sarcophagus, purged his tomb from Ay’s face, and usurped his monuments. The KV55 Coffin was stripped of identity by Horemhab.

Tutankhamun’s weapons and armor show usage from his tomb. So this “proves” he was a Warrior-Pharaoh (as it said in Eye of the Pharaoh © Mike Costa 1990). He would restore the Empire post-Akhenaton. His “war chest” shows this as does “Tribute bearers” in his Viceroy’s tomb. So perhaps his Queen felt left out and wanted to cure the issue with the Hittites, at war with Egypt? So she writes to the Hittite King, offering herself as a Peace Treaty? This happens while Tut is still alive. So Tut discovers the Egyptian copies of those letters, and tells Horemhab to intercept the Hittite Prince. Vizier Ay wanted to usurp the throne from Tut with his Queen’s help, as in the letters. Ay was a “Servant” that Ankh didn’t want to wed. A faience “wedding ring” was discovered containing names of Ankh and Ay. So Tut has Ay killed for treason, and buried in KV55. The Hittites go and tell everyone that “Tut is dead,” so Tut has no choice but to pretend to be dead with a fake burial. He then changes his name to King Ay and dies before Horemhab returns home to Egypt, and is buried in KV23 where Horemhab finds him once the tomb is damaged. Horemhab has Tut reburied in KV62.

Tut dies from self-inflicted Asp bite, a “traditional choice of Egyptian royalty.” As King Ay, Tut remains married to Ankhesenamon and writes letters to the Hittites while also sending them Pestilence from Egypt via infected couriers. The Hittite King later dies from this. Ankh dies either before Tut or shortly thereafter. She is buried in the remainder of KV62, and Tut is inserted there to block access. Tut’s vengeful Ka Spirit guards her tomb.

Horemhab knows about the hidden chamber as he used it for his burial, which was plundered. Horemhab was Tut’s “guidance councilor.” Tut had anger issues like Alexander the Great. The last one to enter the tomb was during Horemhab’s reign. Then the tomb was sealed “via flood waters” like KV63.

If the wall was already in the Burial Chamber and painted with Nefertiti, then there are no hidden chambers, and the Burial Chamber held her remains in the yellow quartzite sarcophagus. The wall was repainted for Tutankhamon. If the painting was for Nefertiti originally (maybe she died at the same time as Tut?) then Tut would not be performing last rites (Opening of the Mouth Ceremony) for her. Then the workers changed it for Tutankhamon once the extension was filled in and sealed. Nefertiti would be evicted and replaced with Tutankhamon.

The mural includes the features of Tut/Ay and Tut-Osiris/Nefertiti, but would be there after the tomb (part B) was already sealed. Meaning whoever is buried there died before Tutankhamon or Nefertiti. No one would see the scene on the other side of the wall, so no reason to have it there.

In Akhenaton’s tomb the Canopic Shrine Statues are of Nefertiti; in Tut’s tomb they are of his Queen Ankhesenamon. The winged goddesses on the sarcophagus in KV62 are female representations of Ankhesenamon. On Tut’s deity monuments he replaced the faces of gods with his own face, probably because Akhenaton effaced the statues of these gods and Tut wanted to preserve his own, unknown to the people who just saw the images as static representations. It is also evidence of deification which began under Amonhotep 3 Nebmaatra and Akhenaton.

Tut would choose suicide if Ankhesenamon died (similar to Cleopatra VII). Then Horemhab returns home from war overseas fighting the Hittites and blames Ay for Tut’s death, so persecutes Ay’s memory. Ay’s coffin is damaged in KV23 containing Tut’s remains. Horemhab realizes this error, and has Tut secretly reburied in KV62.
