54:30 A horse being ridden! Isn't that VERY unusual during the New Kingdom? This is a very interesting lecture, let's say it's putting forward a "revisionist" history of Tutankhamun, going from an inbred cripple to "a dynamic young King"! Especially intriguing is the possible similarity of motivations and timing of the "damnatio memoriae" of both Hatshepsut and Tutankhamun. So what then was that Ay walking stick head doing in Nefertari's tomb? Could she have come from the 18th dynasty line (or broader party), and that her marriage to Ramses II and her own great prestige have been the means of effecting a reconciliation between the Northern upstarts represented by Horemheb and Paramesse, and the broad 18th dynasty Theban (and Akhminian) party?

Indeed, it is fascinating to think that Nefertari might've been a bridge between the two. If only we could shed light on all of the familial relations of the period.

Fascinating! Thank you for the lecture, Dr. Johnson.

Horemheb himself stated probably somewhere in his Memphite tomb that he accompanied the king in his Northern and Southern campaigns obviously implying that Tutankhamun was present on the battlefield. Also, I appreciate your reasoning to why Horemheb only erased Tutankhamun later in his reign, to ensure the succession of Ramses. Horemheb's own right to the throne might have been challenged even in his lifetime.

What I don't understand is the pharaoh semchkara ankhcheperura. If he started the Restauration of the old gods. Was akhenaten still alive? Tomb of merire ||. Indicates that might be possible.

[@naradaian]

Isnt there a 'mythic' thread which suggests Akenaten was deposed by the Amun traditionalists and his wider family exiled into the courts of various Mediterranean lineages he had married his 'daughters' into - as far as Spain, Algeria, France, Greece. Some ancient Jewish refs said to refer to this along with enormous amounts of Gold from Akenatens treasurey! .....and the Stone of Destiny arrival in Ireland with one daughter. Her grave is an official archaeological site there. If Nefertiti dna is from Spain then its ties in nicely
