KV62 as a Decoy Tomb, part 2...

 

 

 Theory #1.b, Copyright 2024 Michael J. Costa, All rights reserved.  


Was KV62 tomb a Decoy Burial? (#2):


If Tutankhamon buried Smenkhkara in KV62 as a decoy tomb it is because of Gossip/word of mouth that said "Tut died." This was presented to the people after the Hittites read letters from an Egyptian Queen saying: "I don't wish to wed a servant. My husband is dead, why would I deceive you? It is said you have many sons... Send me a son and he will be King of Egypt... I am... afraid."  Queens do not usually wed foreign Princes to be King of Egypt unless desperate.  Ay was the servant mentioned in the letters, as he usurped the throne while Tutankhamon was MIA (Missing in Action) while fighting the Hittites to the north; the Queen was attempting a Peace Treaty.  If the Queen was Ankh-et-Kheperura Nefer-Neferuaton the Ruler prior to being Queen Ankhesenamon (married to Tut), then she was already a Pharaoh reprising this role.  If this person was Sit-Amun (Royal Consort under Nebmaatra Amonhotep 3, her father) then she was delegating power as co-ruler while Tut was technically King in his first 3 years as Pharaoh.  


Tut wasn't actually dead.  So he created a mock funeral for "his prior life as Tutankhamon" with Smenkhkara's corpse wrapped as Tut in KV62.  The remains found in KV62 by 1922 CE by Howard Carter are Smenkhkara's.  80% of the items found there are property of family members, the other 20% are either ritual items (Standard Issue) or personal effects of Tutankhamon, such as toiletries and underwear.  The remains once unwrapped appeared brittle, thought once to be a chemical reaction to embalming liquids.  Most likely the mummy was torched (violated) in the tomb, so thieves could take the precious jewels.  This was Smenkhkara's remains.  So the real Tut/King Ay re-wrapped Smenkhkara and placed him in the coffins, shrines, and tomb "as Tutankhamon."  Another burial was for Queen Ankhesenamon near KV63, indicated by a "Pa-" glyph from her prior name Ankhesen-pa-Aton while she lived in the City of Aton.  


Tut lived as King Ay for 4 more years until he died in a hunting accident indicated in KV23 (Tomb of King Ay, WV23).  Vizier Ay was elderly and not likely to go on a hunting expedition; Tut was a sportsman and liked hunting.   He was buried as King Ay.  Pharaoh Horemhab found his remains when ordering the desecration of King Ay's tomb.  The remains were interred in KV55 with Tut's seal on it.  The broken lid to the red granite sarcophagus from KV23 was placed in KV62. 


The KV55 Mummy is not Akhenaton, due to age.  Tut said his father is Nebmaatra, as did King Ay.  Horemhab said that also but erased the other Pharaohs in-between him and Nebmaatra from Public Records, so people will forget what happened, and to not be looking for their tombs.  Tut's tomb wasn't found thereafter until 1922 CE.   


Egyptologists want KV55 Mummy to "be Akhenaton," for Tourist Dollars.  So they forced the dating of the Mummy to be older.  What an attraction to have "the Golden Pharaoh with his father, the Heretic King, the First Monotheist" on display here in Egypt for only $2000 per visit! And over there we have the towns where the "Holy Family" once visited... Anything resembling a spectacle to earn the Tourist Economy of Modern Egypt.

Was KV62 a Decoy Tomb? New Theories...

 

 

 Was Tomb KV62 a Decoy Burial?


1.  The Tomb of KV55 had remains of a person thought originally to be Akhenaton or Smenkhkara, one of the successors of Amonhotep 3 Nebmaatra.  These remains are skeletal.

   
2. The Mummy in KV55 is about 23 years old.  The age was stretched by Egyptologists to be "older" as to conform with it being Akhenaton; this could also be his father, Amonhotep 3 Nebmaatra, given that concept.  


3. The Mummy labeled Amonhotep 3 Nebmaatra was rewrapped in later Dynasties 20 or 21, so it was once contested.   


4. Through Genetic DNA evidence, the remains in KV55 is the "Father or other male relative" of KV62 Mummy "Tutankhamon" and the "son" of the Mummy labeled as Amonhotep 3 Nebmaatra. 

5. Akhenaton is a son of Amonhotep 3 Nebmaatra. 

 
6. Tutankhamon ruled 10 years starting at age 9 and ended at 19.  


7. There was a 3-year overlap in years 9 to 12 of Tutankhamon's age, in which there was a co-ruler, or a female King, while Tut lived in Akhetaton (Tell Al Amarna, the City of the Sun Aton).   


8. At age 12 Tut moved the Capital back to Waset (Thebes) and changed the religion from Monotheism to Polytheism.  His personal name changed from Tutankhaton to Tutankhamon.  


9. Tut ventured to the north of Egypt's borders to secure more territory for the Egyptian Empire, with Tribute sent back to Egypt.  It was thought during this time his Grand Vizier Ay usurped the throne and attempted to marry Tut's Queen Ankhesenamon.  This is known by "letters sent from an Egyptian Queen to the King of the Hittites" via Couriers, one of whom was intercepted as Tutankhamon was visible.


10. Tut returned to Egypt.  He arrested Vizier Ay, who told everyone "Tut was dead."  So Tut created a fake burial of Tutankhamon as a decoy, and ruled as "King Ay" until Horemhab returned to Egypt.  As King Ay, Tut remained married to Ankhesenamon, and usurped his original monuments and sent letters to the Hittite King, one of which was sent with an infected Courier.  


11. The Hittite King contracted the Epidemic via an infected Courier and died during "King Ay's reign."  


12. King Ay ruled 4 years, add to Tutankhamon's "age at death" of 19 and you have 23 years of age, the Age of the remains of KV55 male.

  
13. YL-35 (Younger Lady from tomb 35) is the sister of KV55 male, and mother of KV62 male.  It is thought she is Sit-Amun, the daughter and heir to Amonhotep 3 Nebmaatra, a sister of Akhenaton.  It is thought she was a co-ruler to Akhenaton once.  


14. The seals on the tomb of KV62 and KV55 are both "Tutankhamon."  If someone else buried Tut in KV62, it would be a later King's seals, like Ay's or Horemhab's.


15.  The face of "King Ay" in KV62 burial chamber has "Tut's face on it," according to Egyptologist Dr. Nicholas Reeves, who posited the idea that "Tut was performing last rites for Queen Nefertiti (Nefer-Neferuaton the Ruler)."


16. Tut used his face as his Trademark on statuary or paintings, usually on other people to indicate he commissioned it.   


17. Horemhab,  whom was Tut's legal heir to the throne, blamed "King Ay" for Tut's death, and persecuted "King Ay's memory."  He didn't know King Ay = Tutankhamon.  So he destroyed the red granite sarcophagus in King Ay's tomb; a lid was found in KV62 made of red granite on top of the yellow quartzite sarcophagus found there. 

 
18.  King Ay's remains were later interred in KV55 tomb in a recycled coffin.   The remains in KV62 are thought to be "King Ay's son" though not necessarily Vizier Ay's son Nakhtmin.   It was labeled as "Tutankhamon" with items from the royal family buried with him.  


19. If there are additional rooms in KV62 they are behind solid stone plugs, not hollow plaster.  Stone plugs are found in Pyramids to block access to passages.  (Try pushing the wall?).


20. Other forms of Deception in Egypt are gold-clad wooden statues, which makes one believe they are solid gold until one cuts into them.  This happened once during the Arab Spring of 2011 in the Cairo Museum.  


21.  The reconstruction image of KV55 male resembles the images of Tutankhamon more so than the image of KV62 male.   


22. KV55 male is too young to be Nebmaatra Amonhotep 3.   

23. King Ay "died while hunting" something that an elderly Ay would not be able to do.

 24. KV62 Male would then be Smenkhkara, as this was his original tomb.   Smenkhkara is a male relation of Tutankhamon/-King-Ay.


25. Smenkhkara was wrapped a second time following the violation of his tomb early during Tutankhamon's reign.  The tomb KV62 was kept by Tut for safety.
