» WnbliAkcta - Hamunaptra
For those interested in the Book of the Dead...it does exist. Go to a Barnes and Noble bookstore and ask for a book titled "The Egyptian Book of the Dead" The author is E.A. Wallis Budge. The book has a lengthy introduction discussing the history of Egypt and The Book. It also has the contents of The Book. It is written in Heiroglyphic, then transliterated, and translated. It is quite remarkable! If the Barnes and Noble you go to (or in some other way contact) does not have it on hand, they can order it for you. Hope this is helpful!-- posted by WnbliAkcta

I have been studying Egypt all of my life and I have answers to most of the questions everyone is asking. The actual city of Hamunaptra never exsisted, but the western border of Luxor(Thebes) is called a necropolis, or City of the Dead. The Book of the Dead and the Book of Amun-Re do in fact ixist. The Book of Amun-Re was "written" by Amun-Re. Anaksunamun was the wife of Seti the first, not Tutankhamen.His wife was Ankhesenamen. Though the name are similar, they are no where near the same person. There were two Imoteps. The first came from the 13th dynasty, the second, Seti's preist, lived during the 19th dynasty. Imotep and Anaksunamun did love each other and she did die. Imoptep tried to raise her from the dead by chanting the insription in the Book of the Dead. He was caught and arrested. He was killed and mummified, not mummified alive. To answer someone's question, the spoken language in Egypt is Aribic. Seti the first was burried in the sixthteenth tomb in the Valley of the Kings. If anyone has any more questions or would like argue a point, please e-mail me at sphinx6000@go.com or at meowth_500@yahoo.com-- posted by sphinx6000

I made a mistake on the spelling of Ancksunamun. I had put an 'a' instead of a 'c' before the 'k'. I apologize for this. Cheerio!-- posted by sphinx6000
» Sungoddess - Ancient Egypt and Sexual Rituals
I'm interested in any information that can give me some insight into the sexual practices of the ancient Egyptians. Something similar to explaining ancient Indian sexuality in Kharma Sutra. This topic has never been discussed much to my knowlegde and any readings, research or links on this subject would be most helpful. This might also give some insight into the way they perfumed, dress or displayed themselves relating to their form of sexual expression. Any information would be greatly appreciated.-- posted by Sungoddess

First of all, there was and is no place such as Hamunaptra. The fictional city,however, could almost be the mirror image of the real life ancient Egyptian capital of Thebes, The City of the Dead. Amarna was not known as The City of The Dead but as the rebel pharaoh, Akhenaton's, new capital city after he moved it from Thebes. I've never heard of an Anuk-su-namun but as previously mentioned, she, or someone with a similar name was probably the wife of Seti 1 although I've never heard of her before. Ankhesenamun was the wife of Tutankamun. I've never heard of there being 2 Imhoteps from any ancient Egyptian source but it's possible. I've only heard of the Imhotep from King Djoser's time. He was a scribe, a priest, an architect. . .one of pharaoh's best men. He is mostly known for designing the first pyramid, the stepped pyramid. And I've never heard of the ancient Egyptians trying to raise their dead.If anybody has any answers or questions, e-mail me e-mail me:IsisXXXGrtOne@hotmail.com

» lizzyJ - Marching Soldiers at the end of The Mummy??
I've watched the 99 version of The Mummy quite a few times and I have yet to hear an explanation of who the soldiers are at the end. I'm referring to the ones that Jonathan raises when he reads the inscription from The Book of Ahmun Re. The other mummies were identified as Imhotep's priests, but these soldiers were never talked about.Thanks,
Liz
