Wailing and mourning
A custom that has not changed or altered for thousands of years until recently. Hysterical crying. Hitting the head, pulling the hair and throwing dirt on it, tearing clothes. Screaming, wailing, collapsing and falling to the ground. Begging the deceased to return to life. Until recently, there was a profession of mourning women to ignite the funeral flames and dance and jump on one foot known in Upper Egypt (Hanjala). Perhaps the ancient Egyptian Momo dance was the origin of the dance. They were paid money and fed as well as their families.
The scene is from the Ramuza tomb in Luxor. A group of women appear in a crying position.And his family says; He has departed. The great shepherd has departed. Here he is leaving us in haste. Come back. Come back to us!!

pyramid #
The Benben pyramid has puzzled scientists for many years. The pyramid is made of black stone, but it is not an ordinary stone, as its components cannot be found on the ground. Magnetite specifically is only found in space meteorites. This is where the other mystery arises because it is a very hard stone, so it is difficult to mold and engrave this material. Although this stone is not difficult to break, how was it cut with such precision at angles and deviations? How was it refined with such unique precision?
As these inscriptions were very precise on the sides of the pyramid, the scientists found it impossible to carve these inscriptions with any old or new tool except using laser cutting technology. In addition to its uniqueness, the black meteorite has a distinctive composition that emits positive energy. The energy permeates his surroundings, causing a feeling of psychological comfort among those around him and affecting the human energy. The Benben Pyramid still baffles us with its unexplained phenomena.

The Mummy of ( Bashiri ) is the only mummy that scientists did not dare and refused to remove the curtain from, because there is no human being or technology in the world that can return to the way it was.
No one dared to remove the soft wrappings from it due to the difficulty of restoring it to its original setting with the same accuracy.
Thus, all the discovered mummies became known and their details and stories are known except this one.

Deir el-Bahari Cache:
The history of this royal cache dates back to the Twenty-First Dynasty. The priests developed an elaborate plan that was meticulously implemented. They secretly opened the royal tombs and took out all the mummies from them. They transferred 13 of them to the tomb of King Amenhotep II. As for the remaining 37 mummies, they were carried to this deep well in the northwest of Deir el-Bahari, which leads to a long corridor that ends in a room that represented the tomb of a queen. It's called "If I'm afraid of me."
The priests established this cache after they felt that they were unable to protect and protect their ancestors from thieves.
This cache remained in its hiding place for three thousand years until it was found by Muhammad Abd al-Rasoul in February 1857 AD. Had it not been for the dispute that broke out between him and Ahmed’s sister, the cache would have had another path other than the Egyptian Museum in Cairo.

Abdul Rasul family and the royal environment:
The work of the Abdel Rasoul family in the antiquities trade, especially the brothers Ahmed and Mohamed Abdel Rasoul, played an important role in the discovery. By pure coincidence, they found a cache containing mummies and funerary furniture in a deep rocky bottom. Since then, the brothers began plundering the existing cache gradually and in limited quantities, and they continued in this manner. Ten years in a row, and their intelligence guided them to this method. Fearing that flooding the market with antiquities would lead to a sharp decline in their selling prices.

English and American tourists in particular were flocking to small, valuable antiquities, especially those bearing royal emblems, and the French Egyptologist Justin Maspero - director of the Egyptian Antiquities Service and curator of the Egyptian Museum of Antiquities in Boulak at the time - heard news of this suspicious trade. He realized that it depended on the discovery of a great secret in the Valley of the Kings, and Maspero based his suspicions on the basis that some of the pieces in circulation were unique in their kind. Not only that, but some of them bore royal emblems, and some of the royal mummies that were offered for sale were the mummies of real kings. .
Maspero acted very cautiously; Because the inspection of Luxor's antiquities had not yet been organized, he quickly sent a telegram to the Luxor police, asking them to tighten control over antiquities dealers among its residents. Then, he sent a special envoy there, pretending to be a wealthy tourist ready to spend lavishly. The envoy took the initiative to buy some selected antiquities to earn money. The trust of the merchants, and the merchants began to view him as an extraordinary customer and began offering him the most valuable pieces they had. On one occasion, he was presented with a small funerary statue from the Twenty-First Dynasty. The delegate became certain that this statue must have been looted from a royal cemetery, so the man bought the statue after a stubborn bargain... through which he was able to identify Ahmed Abd al-Rasoul. The suspicions of the envoy and the city police were directed to the Abd al-Rasoul family, and it was also confirmed that the family was influencing a Turkish person. With his eye on other agents.. This agent is named “Mustafa Agha Ayat” and works as an agent for the consulates of Belgium, France, and Russia. He traded in antiquities and acquired them, using his diplomatic immunity.

According to the law, Agha Ayat was above legal accountability, but the Abdul Rasoul brothers were subject to the law. Therefore, the Egyptian police arrested them in 1881 AD, and they were sent in handcuffs to the director of the Qena Directorate for interrogation. The two brothers eloquently defended themselves, denied the accusation, and claimed in their defense that no traces were found in their house. Of course, they were not so naive as to keep the evidence of incrimination, in addition to that. They gathered a crowd of people who testified that they were clean and free from suspicion, and neither intimidation nor persuasion worked on them. Therefore, the director, “Daoud Pasha,” released them due to insufficient evidence - and there is doubt that “Daoud Pasha” himself was connected to them. The two men returned victorious and happy, each of them to his home, and conditions calmed down for a while, then a sharp family dispute broke out within the Abdul Rasoul family itself. Because of the division of the spoils of the hideout... Ahmed demanded a larger share because he was subjected to torture and arrest, and news of this conflict spread quickly in Luxor. The Antiquities Authority seized the opportunity and opened the investigation into the matter again, and after tightening the noose around them, Muhammad had no choice but to confess in detail everything in order to save himself.
But what was revealed was a complete vault of kings, and which kings were the greatest kings in the history of Egypt: Emperor Thutmose III, Seti I, Ahmose I the Liberator, and Ramesses II the Conqueror. This is what Emil Bruges saw, saying: “These are a group that made him swim in dreams, and I, like him, think I am in a dream as I see and touch these unique characters, whom we never thought we would ever know except their names.”
Jars of sacrificial wine, canopic vessels, and then the coffins of the majestic queens of Egypt were found in the crypt, arranged in rows.
When Brugesh recovered from his astonishment, he began arranging the transportation of the assets. He immediately hired three hundred workers to carry out the work of cleaning the vault and transporting the contents under the supervision of the existing Antiquities Authority employees. He assigned the government transport unit (river transport unit) called Al-Mansheya to transport the shipment to Cairo in a timely manner. Two days (48 hours). The first batch of the forty kings, along with many precious relics, were loaded onto the conveyor belt and headed to Cairo.
Maspero tells us: “The women of the locals followed the rifles, wailing loudly, while the men fired gunshots in honor of their ancient kings, and some moles say that this wailing is due to the loss of an easy source of livelihood for them.

Carter found things in the tomb of your grandfather, King Tutankhamun, that are unbelievable to the human mind, as he found more than 5,300 artifacts in a number that is perhaps the largest ever in the company of a king in the other world. Among these strange things that appeared to us and we saw is the position of the mummy and the way it appears to us.

This picture is one of the rarest pictures you can see in your life of King Tutankhamun. This is a picture of King Tutankhamun’s p***s.

The ancient Egyptians paid great attention to this part of the human body. You will find in this picture the mummy of King Tutankhamun.

The embalmers adjusted the p***s so that it was erect at a 90-degree angle from the time of mummification until its discovery. Until now, no one knows how they did it, but there is some speculation that says that a thin iron rod was placed inside the king’s p***s to keep it erect throughout that period.

Be aware that no king in Egyptian history had this done to his mummy, and no king was buried in this way.

Memoirs of Howard Carter, discoverer of King Tutankhamun’s tomb, wrote:
He was mummified while his p***s was erect, which was intentional by the embalmers.

During the examination conducted by Carter and anatomist Douglas Derry, the p***s and other parts of the body broke.

The mummified p***s of Tutankhamun’s mummy eventually separated from his body after the mummy was discovered, which at one point led to media speculation that the p***s had been stolen, but it had actually fallen into the rubble under Tut’s mummy.

Egyptologist Salma Ikram says that she did not see any other Egyptian mummy buried erect like King Tutankhamun.

She also said that images of King Tutankhamun’s erect p***s have a connection to the god Osiris.
“The erect p***s evokes Osiris in his most powerful regenerative moments, and one of his attributes is that it was associated with fertility, birth, and regeneration. Therefore, the erect p***s could be a symbol of kingship associated with the ancient god Osiris.”

Mysterious phenomena baffled scientists.
1 - One stone in the pyramid weighs between 2 and 15 tons.
2 - The number of stones in the pyramid is about 3 million.
3 - The weight of the granite stone in the ceiling of the king’s chamber.
Approximately 70 tons.
No one knows how the Pharaohs raised it, despite its enormous size.
4 - The height of the pyramid is 149.4 meters, and the distance between the Earth and the sun is about 149.4 meters Leon kilometer.
(From the mysterious secrets of the Pharaohs)
5 - The entrance corridor to the pyramid points to the North Pole star.
The inner vestibule points to the star Sirius.

6 - If you put a piece of meat in the pyramid’s chamber, it will dry from the liquids but will not rot (the secret is mysterious).
7 - The circumference of the pyramid divided by the height of the pyramid equals 3.14. This number is considered an unusual number in mathematics. It is called the mathematical constant (t) and is used extensively in mathematics and physics.
8 - The pyramid was illuminated at night because it was coated with a radioactive substance.
9 - The position of the three pyramids is parallel to the three most famous stars in the sky called Orion’s Belt.
10 - One day a year the sun’s rays sneak into the Great Pyramid, which is the day of the Pharaoh’s birth.
11 - The Pharaonic daggers inside the pyramid’s rooms do not rust or lose the sharpness of their blade, despite the passage of thousands of years
(The secret is not known to scientists until today.)
12 - In some rooms of the pyramid, the devices stop working and their signals are interrupted, and the reason is unknown.
13 - The site of the pyramids is located on the same line that connects the Bermuda Triangle in the Atlantic Ocean and the Formosa Triangle in the Pacific Ocean, and in both triangles strange things happen, such as the disappearance of ships and planes and the compass malfunctioning.
14 - Inside the Great Pyramid are 3 rooms, two of which are above ground and the other is underground. Mirabeau is the genius engineer who built this pyramid. It took 20 years to build and cost about 100,000 workers to build.
15 - The four corners of the pyramid’s base point to the original directions of the Earth with amazing accuracy that made scientists adjust their calculations in the twentieth century.
16- The orbit that passes through the center of the pyramid divides the continents and oceans into two completely equal halves in terms of area.
17 - Lukewarm razors become as sharp as a sword if they are left inside the pyramid for several days (the reason is not yet understood)
18- The Great Pyramid, according to the astronomical system, is located under the largest star in the sky!!
Do you believe that aliens helped build it and then died or became extinct, or do they have a lineage among us now?

“Do not ask about the image of your Lord, because no one knows the image of the Lord. He is not a sun in the sky, a bird, or a statue.”

“Do not search for the secrets of the kingdom of your Lord, for they are beyond the comprehension of minds. Fear God and fear His wrath. Do not do what your Lord hates, and keep His commandments and instructions, for He raises those who glorify Him.”

“Let your eyes know the value of your Lord and respect His name, because He is the one who gives strength to all creatures.”

“Be chivalrous and brave, for the coward does not benefit from life other than what God has given him. Be sincere to God in your deeds, so that you may draw closer to Him and prove the sincerity of your servitude so that you may obtain His mercy and be noticed by His care.”

(From the teachings of the ancient Egyptian sage “Ani”, Eighth Dynasty, 2280 BC, Ani Papyrus, British Museum).

Tomb KV20 is the original burial place of Thutmose I (who later buried him in KV38) and was later adapted by his daughter Hatshepsut.
The tomb was known to Napoleon Bonaparte's expedition in 1799 and was visited by numerous explorers between 1799 and 1903. A complete excavation was undertaken by Howard Carter in 1903-1904. KV20 can be distinguished from other tombs in the valley, both in its general layout and because of the atypical clockwise curvature of its corridors.

Medium's pyramid.
False pyramid.

On the west bank of the Nile River, specifically in Beni Suef, in the Meidum area, we will find a pyramid whose shape is not familiar like the rest of the pyramids, tending towards a cubic shape. It is considered a transitional stage between the step pyramid, the pyramid of King Djoser in Saqqara, and the complete pyramid, “the Pyramid of Khufu”, meaning it is the intermediate stage between the two pyramids, and for this reason it is known as the false pyramid. It is also known as the Pyramid of Meidum.

Researchers agree that the construction of the pyramid of Meidum began in the 3rd Dynasty by King Huni, the last of its kings, but it was not completed. Then came after him King Senefru, the first king of the 4th Dynasty. He admired it and decided to complete its construction. The pyramid of Meidum, or the false pyramid, was the first thing that Senefru completed after His accession to the throne in Egypt.

Three terraces are currently visible from it, and it is considered the reason for the confusion of scholars. No one has determined whether Sneferu did not complete his construction, or did it collapse and become like this, and is this the design that the king wanted, or is it just a mistake..! ; Al-Maqrizi described it during the 12th century as a building consisting of 5 terraces, which indicates that this pyramid had been exposed to erosion or collapse factors that led to its current shape...

Some scholars believe that it collapsed recently in the advanced dynasties after its completion, and others believe that it was not completed at all as a result of the fact that during the reign of King Sneferu, and while working on the pyramid, a collapse occurred in its outer layer, and work on building the pyramid stopped, and the walls of the funerary temple were left empty without writing on them. It is said that This collapse is responsible for the current shape, which distinguishes it from the rest of the pyramids.

There is an entrance to the pyramid on the northern façade, from which it begins to another entrance, and after a short entrance to the bottom, there is a deep well that may have been to receive water that might leak from the pyramid, to prevent water from entering the other rooms. The entrance ends with a first room, and to the right of the entrance we find the second room, and the two rooms have a low ceiling. It is roofed with wide, solid stones.

Starting from the second entrance chamber is a new vestibule 4 or 5 meters long, then a vertical opening leading to the main chamber. The ceiling was a stepped dome to distribute the pressure of the pyramid on both sides of the funerary chamber.

The unidentified coffin, the coffin of King Akhenaten (the mystery coffin)
This coffin was found in Cemetery No. KV55 in 1907 AD, and it is still one of the biggest secrets. It was discovered in a red wooden shrine and marked with the name Akhenaten. While the coffin was the coffin of a woman, not a man, it had a golden mask as if it had been deliberately broken and the cartouches had been removed from it. It bears his name and appears to have a long beard.
The coffin did not carry cartouches to identify its owner, but there were several indications that it dated to the Amarna period (the period of King Akhenaten’s rule), and all names were erased. The death mask was mutilated.
They found the coffin with the cartridges erased from it.
Four canopic vessels were found on which the inscriptions were erased, and it was traced back to the reign of King Akhenaten due to the presence of evidence after the cartouches were erased from the coffin.
The coffin is made of gilded wood inlaid with precious and semi-precious stones. The coffin is almost destroyed except for the coffin lid.
Egyptian Museum, Cairo.

Tomb of Khnumhotep II BH3
A treasure engraved in the heart of the Beni Hassan rocks.
Middle Kingdom.
This cemetery is located 20 km from the Beni Hassan Cemetery area, Minya Governorate.
This cemetery dates back to the Middle Kingdom, the Twelfth Dynasty, the era of Kings Amenemhat II and Senusret III.
The owner is Prince Khnumhotep II, the general supervisor of the tribes and the Eastern Desert region in the era of the Middle Kingdom. He is considered one of the most famous provincial rulers in that period, as he recorded his biography in 222 lines of text that pass through the lower part of the walls of the Hypostyle Hall.
Architectural design of the cemetery
The cemetery consists of an entrance followed by a hallway that leads to the hypostyle hall, which contains two columns in a front courtyard. These columns take a polygonal shape that is very similar to the Greek Doric columns, so this style is called (Proto-Doric). Inside this hall there are two burial wells and this ends. The hall contains the statue of the owner of the tomb.
The most famous scenes of the cemetery:
In the Hypostyle Hall, we find wonderful scenes depicting daily life in a unique way, ranging from plowing the land, harvesting, fishing, herds of livestock in the midst of flood water, pottery making, and a unique scene of the king himself being carried inside a howdah personally observing the making of ships. A view of Khnumhotep II and two of his daughters standing in front of the offering table, followed by wonderful inscriptions in the outer hall explaining some prayers for the deceased and a calendar of holidays in which sacrifices should be made to the soul of the deceased.
One of the most beautiful views of the western wall is a unique view of two people collecting figs from the tree, and three monkeys helping them collect the figs.
A unique view of Prince Khnumhotep as he hunts a group of fish and birds in a wonderfully colored engraving whose beauty is enough for us from the Middle Kingdom era.
One of the most famous scenes of the cemetery at all is the scene recorded on the northern wall of the cemetery to the left of the entrance, where the ancient Egyptian recorded a scene of a delegation from (the Amu), that word that the Egyptians used to refer to the people who lived in the east and north-east of Egypt, and the composed delegation appears. Of 37 commoners, a variety of men, women, and children, they appear in their distinctive clothing, which is completely different from the ancient Egyptian style, arriving to offer gifts and tribute to Egypt, including eye paint. The title of the head of the delegation, called (Ibsha), appears, above which the word (Haqqiq) is written in ancient Egyptian. Khasut) means the ruler of a foreign land, and therefore this wonderful inscription is the oldest inscription in which this word was written, which was later known in the Greek era as the word Hyksos, so this inscription occupies the oldest evidence in which this word appears.
the lower part of the tomb’s walls, on which was engraved the complete biography of Prince Khnumhotep, recorded in 222 lines of text with the utmost precision and clarity.
Therefore, this cemetery is considered one of the most wonderful individual cemeteries that have come down to us from the Middle Kingdom era.

King Seqenenre.

I am King Seqenen-Ra, and my name means in ancient Egyptian (strengthen by-Ra). I am the greatest and most glorified king in the history of ancient Egypt.
I was the one who started the actual struggle to expel the Hyksos (Asian invaders)from Egypt.

My grave was found intact and not looted, just as my mummy was found

Well-preserved, which showed scientists that my height was 170 cm, I had a large body, a large head, and a model of an authentic Egyptian who was characterized by a strong, well-muscled build. My hair was black, thick, curly, and I was clean-shaven. I was thirty years old when I was killed.

I was killed by the Hyksos in a treacherous attack during my struggle against them in one of the battles. They stabbed me with a dagger under my left ear and it sank into my neck, as my mummy showed. Then they attacked my face with axes and sticks and smashed it. I was hastily mummified on the battlefield, but my mummy arrived to you intact and complete.
My wife is the great queen (Iahhotep) and she lived to be a contemporary of King (Thutmose III).

Princess Ahmose gave birth to Nefertari, Prince Kamose, and Prince Ahmose, who succeeded me on the throne and continued their struggle against the invading Hyksos after me.

I am Seqenen Ra Taa II, I am the first to start the struggle, I am the first martyr in Egyptian history.
