Not too long ago I’ve been taking a look at vintage stereoviews for materials so as to add to this weblog and that is an thrilling discover. The cardboard is from ca.1908 and the mummies pictured have been discovered simply a few years earlier of their tomb within the Valley of the Kings which had not been touched in 1000’s of years and with the contents in a near-perfect state of preservation. The tomb in the present day is named KV 46 contained the 2 mummies offered right here the mother and father of the good royal spouse of Amenhotep III, Queen Tiye. The mum of Queen Tiye’s mom Thuya is pictured in entrance with the queen’s father Yuya pictured behind. Within the background is a few acquainted items of their burial.

The 110-year-old stereoview say’s that the mummies are 3000-4000 years previous when in actuality they’re from the center of the 14th century BC. The outline additionally claims that the mummies are at Gizeh when the truth is that they’re displayed within the almost model new Cairo Egyptian Museum opened in 1902.

Again within the late 1980’s creator Ahmed Osman wrote the fascinating ebook “Stranger within the Valley of the Kings” through which the creator recognized Yuya with the Biblical Patriarch Joseph.
