Tomb of Senebkay from the mysterious Second Intermediate Period - TopicsExpress



          

Tomb of Senebkay from the mysterious Second Intermediate Period between 1650 BC and 1600 BC in Abydos. Bianca and I were able to explore around this area when we were there last month. This is the tomb featured in the article that I posted yesterday: ...there was no proof until the last few weeks when a team of American Egyptologists discovered a previously unknown tomb buried under three metres of sand. On entering it and illuminating its wall paintings for the first time in literally thousands of years, they deciphered a painted inscription which revealed the name and titles of an unknown pharaoh - the first physical proof that the mysterious lost kingdom and its ruling dynasty had actually existed. The previously unknown ancient Egyptian rulers name was Senebkay - a spiritually-sounding composite word meaning my soul is healthy. independent.co.uk/news/science/archaeology/news/valley-of-the-other-kings-lost-dynasty-found-in-egypt-9065551.html
