What an incredibly beautiful golden crown. Can you see the beautiful young Princess with it on? This is the crown of the mother of King Tut.

The cartouche of Nebkheperure, Lord of the Many Manifestations of Re, the coronation name of King Tutankhamen. This is the symbol we most often associate with King Tut.

The young Prince Tutankhaten (his birth name) took the throne name of Neb-Kheper-U-Re, which can be translated as “Lord of the Many Manifestations of Re”.

A name similar to his mother and father’s name: Neb-Ma’et-Re. Not many know this, but Sitamen used the name of her father and husband during part of the reign of her brother, Akhenaten, undoubtedly after he ordered all mention of Amen erased from temples, homes and tombs.

On an old webpage I made a breakdown of the symbols of –>Tut’s coronation name.

I think by taking a throne name associated with the Sun God Re rather than the aspect: Aten, that Tutankhaten managed to reassure his people that things were going to change, that true ‘Ma’at’ would be restored. There were obviously also political reasons behind this.

This whole ‘Aten’ movement began as a power struggle between the Kings of Egypt and the priests of Amen-Re, who controlled by grant of various pharaohs possessions rivaling their kings, as well as the Treasury of the King, though the Queen traditionally had control of that Treasury. These priests of Amen-Re had demanded that Amen-Re be named King of the Gods, but this prerogative belonged to the King, the Pharaoh, the Living God, the Good God. All priests of the Two Lands were only surrogates of the King, his representatives.

Tutankhaten, his Queen, Ankhesenpaaten, and their advisors were not going to just hand back power to these upstart priests. So Memphis, Re and Ptah, were given preference.

This is a test post from , a fancy photo sharing thing.

This one’s on MY website:

Would you believe? Another Update before I even get the last one fixed! –>WordPress 2.5.1! and I made some changes to my editing/writing panel. will they work in the new update? Can I find them again?

I didn’t post about them right away. Okay, found it. Here’s the –>WordPress 2.5 hack to fix the write panel. special thanks to Judy at PersistantIllusion.com, she surely ‘knitted together’ a great hack for the administration.

I’m using a new browser that is lots easier to use: Camino. Only for Macs though.

Also if you are having problems with the Add Media and Media Manager, check out this post on the –>forum by Otto42, I used the no-flash-uploader plugin listed at the bottom. I loved it so much, I checked out –>his blog, and invited him to connect on LinkedIn.

The newest upgrade is not available on my host’s Fantastico yet, though I know Moderators and Developers always say to do a ‘Manual’ upgrade/update. I’m too cowardly to try it. And, considering how fast this new upgrade came up and how many complaints on the –>Wordpress forum, I think I’ll wait awhile. And I’m not updating/upgrading my other –>WordPress blog yet, it’s already messed up for no reason that I could see. Maybe Firefox messed with it.

May Health, Life and Prosperity be yours!

Our Author has given us a chance to communicate with you, you and those in your world who have become fascinated with the romance of the beautiful dead young King and the wonderful treasures of his House of Eternity.

The two of us, Tutankhamen and Ankhesenamen, discovered the ultimate cause of disorder in our Empire on our assuming the Throne of Egypt. We found that fundamental beliefs cannot be successfully imposed by force, that the freedom to believe as one chose was more unifying and empowering, that force breaks the Divine Cycle of Energy between the Gods, the King and the People.

It is hard to explain these concepts to you in your modern day world.

Our intelligence revealed that our Egypt, our Kingdom of the Two Lands, began to lose power in the world as its people began to lose faith in their own traditional gods.

Tut: The Empire faltered when my Brother the Pharaoh Akhenaten attacked those other gods and those beliefs. Ma’at stumbled. Though he claimed to ‘live in truth’, Akhenaten brought only disorder and chaos to the Two Lands.

PaAten: When I saw that the people suffered, I told my father the Pharaoh, and that they also had no priests or temples to guide and help them.
His only answer was: ‘Let them come to me.’

But how could many come so far for recourse. For the King no longer went to them, only those in his Holy City could see Pharaoh and petition him for aid. All outside Akhetaten, that ‘Holy City,’ had been excluded from the ‘Garden of Heaven’ that had been our Egypt.

Villains took what they wanted and there was no one to stop them or punish them. And this had happened since Pharaoh only five years ago had closed all the temples, each of which maintained and guided certain essential routines in our world, for order, for Ma’at.

Tut: These routines had to be restored and the people, the devotees who helped maintain those routines, and guide them, had to be allowed to return to these duties, or new ones appointed to represent us. (Our delegates)

I, Pharaoh, re-endowed those temples with lands, servants and goods to support them along with the priests appointed from the locals who gave service for two months of each year. The ‘Bounty of the Gods’, benefiting all the priests’ families was restored as well.

Then the Gods of Egypt began to work for the the Two Lands again. And Ma’At, order and justice, returned to our Egypt again.

PaAten: Understand, this was not a ’surrender’ in a great battle between gods: the God-King of Egypt and many of Egypt’s Ancient Gods. That battle of my father and his father was laid to rest with their deaths.

We knew, Tutankhamen and I, that there is only Re, that all others come from Re, and that Re is more than just the Sun.

Now we see the cataclysmic struggle in your time, life and much death, over which god (of your biggest three) is real, which is the True God and must be believed. And one seeks to impose their vision of God on all the others by brute and fatal force, even on those who believe in the same god as theirs.

Tutankhamen: And so, our Ka’s, our spirits, have returned to the world from the Stars where we dwell, though Egyptologist Howard Carter released our Ba, our souls, for we have a message from the Star-Kings, and want our story told.
