Transfiguration in the late 18th Dynasty of Egypt
© 2021 MJC
Amonhotep 3 Nebmaatra “died mysteriously” and became Aton-Ra, the Deity who was co-ruler with his son, Amonhotep 4 / Akhenaton. Was this initiation into the Cult of Aton? Amonhotep 4 “died” and became Akhenaton. Did Nefertiti also “die” to become Nefer-neferu-aton the King who ruled after Akhenaton? Or was this one of her daughters whom inherited the title? Then Tutankhamon “died” and became King Ay once word reached the Hittites that the Queen wanted one of their sons as consort because “her husband died and she didn’t want to marry a Servant (i.e. Vizier Ay).” Tutankhamon was originally part of the Aton Cult before he realized the condition of the people wasn’t ideal. Tutankhamon’s new self performed last rites for his old self in KV62 Mural; same face. Tutankhamon put his own face on the statues of the Gods as his Trademark in case of usurpation or “monument plagiarism.” This is like my real biography in Eye of the Pharaoh as a security feature.
In some Cults, Initiation rites involve the “ritual death” of the old Self or person, and a transformation into a new person with a ritual name and costume. This is like “Mike Costa the author died and became M7” in 1994. This is not a literal statement. I am not actually ‘dead.’ Hollywood Actors do this, too. They remove their original identity with a Screen Name, or Writer’s Name (Nom de plume).
So you cannot trust the Historical Records in Ancient Egypt with this going on.
