Mod..I realise that this is more of history...I shall try not to stray too much into that. Just thought that it may help to put us in the correct era.

AMARNA CITY



This image is an aerial view of the city. This is probably a lot greener than it actually was during the time the city was occupied. Some building have still to be constructed.

THE ROYAL PALACE COURTYARD - AERIAL VIEW



An aerial view of the Royal Palace showing the inner courtyards and some offering tables in the center.


THE SMALL ATEN TEMPLE



A view showing a partial construction of the Small Aten Temple. The placement of the Sphinx in the front area is pure artistic license and not historical fact.


THE ROYAL QUAYSIDE




A view of the Royal Quay from the River Nile showing two 18th Dynasty boats. The boats have been constructed with animated rigging and cloth dynamics on the sails.

I have problem in reducing the size of the pics. There are many more in the internet where you can check for yourself. It was a truely wonderful city.

  Ya, berdasarkan info yg. mereka ada, Tut besar kemungkinan anak Akhenaten dengan Kiya  dan dia kawin dengan dia punya half sister. Dalam tomb dia Howard Carter jumpa 2 stillborn mummified baby girls,anak dia.
     Apa pun, menarik cerita boy king nih. Jadi raja sewaktu umur amat muda..9/10 th. dan mati secara tiba2. Misteri tuh. dibunuh ke, atau cuma mati sebab infection daripada luka atau infection di geraham. Itu saya dengar dalam documentary. And then ada power struggle....among the high officials. Saya tak sabar nak melawat valley of the kings terutama KV62(tut's tomb)

Apa salahnya, ni kan bod culture and arts. Memang tak leh lari dari sejarah..ada hubung kait.

Thanks for the pictures Hamizao. Memang cantik ya...kalau difikir, memang menakjubkan. Ini lebih 3000 th. yg. lalu dan egyptians boleh buat kota yg. besar dan indah,serta berhias..bukan satu pulak tu!
       Saya ada tengok dalam tv bekas tinggalan bandar tu...betul2 dalam gurun kelilingnya tak de apa. Sayang ya..kota tu ditinggal begitu saja. Katanya selepas Tut jadi raja, dia muda jadi kuasa banyak dipegang oleh high officials terutama Ay dan Horemheb yg. kemudiannya jadi pharaoh  selepas Tut mati.dan derang ni lah yg. besar kemungkinan buat decisions untuk King Tut,termasuk pulang kepada banyak Tuhan dan balik ke Thebes,tinggalkan Amarna.

Thanks, Fleursa.

Ustaz sy pun bilang Ramseslah Pharoah semasa Moses. Semasa Merneptah Kingdom Israel telah hancur dan orang2 Bani Israel sudah berada dalam buangan di Babylon.

Ramses yg. mana? I,II...? Katanya kita boleh pergi tengok Firaun nabi Musa ni di museum Cairo.

Mengikut pengkaji tomb King Tut yang pertama yang belum dikacau oleh tomb raiders atau pencuri. Itulah sebabnya barang2 yg berharga masih berada di situ lagi. Itulah juga sebabnya boleh diadakan pa ...

        Sebenarnya, sewaktu Carter buka tomb tu pertama kalinya pada Feb. 1923,, dia kata ada kesan menunjukkan tomb itu sudah dirompak 2 kali sebaik sahaja pengkebumian. Ada khazanah yg. hilang tapi sedikit. Tetapi khazanah yg. hilang tu cepat2 diganti balik. Tak tahulah samada khazanah itu diganti dengan barang lain yg. serupa,dibuat semula atau diambil balik dari pencuri itu.
        Selepas dirompak kali kedua, tomb tu disembunyikan. Itu sebab tomb dia lengkap tak macam tomb pharaoh lain.
     Ada dengar, Rabu lepas, egyptologist jumpa lagi satu tomb di Valley of the kings? Ada 5 mummies berserta dengan canopic jars. Entah siapa ya? Sangat menarik selepas lebih 80 th. selepas Tut, baru jumpa yg. lain lagi.

     Sebenarnya sehingga ke hari ini  tak de siapa tahu apa sebenarnya punca kematian Tut sewaktu umur dalam 19 th. Tak de bukti pembunuhan berlaku walaupun selepas diperiksa mummynya.

Memang ada berbagai teori ttg kematian Tut dan setiap dokumentari akan membentangkan teori yang berlainan, Tetapi saya rasa yang popular sekali agaknya ialah kemungkinan ada konspirasi untuk membunuhnya. Dalam pemeriksaan akhir (pemeriksaan seterusnya tidak akan dibenar lagi) telah diketahui bahawa Tut ada mengidap penyakit tulang leher dan ada kesan yg menunjukkan ada bekas pukulan di kepala - sebagai orang jatuh dan kepala terhentak di sebelah belakang. Allahwa'lam. We would never really know.....:hmm::hmm:

     begitulah...macam2 theori. yg. saya tenguk documentary baru ni derang buat kajian semua ke atas mummy tu, katanya tanda2 dia dibunuh tak de langsung. Kemungkinan dia mati sebab infection dari luka/kecederaan lebih besar dari dibunuh walaupun kalau tengok dari sudut situasi politik di waktu itu dan umur dia mati,bukanlah tak mungkin dia dibunuh.

      Tapi...saya terpegun sungguh dengan barang2 yg. ditanam bersama mummy tut tuh. Halus betul buatan seninya dan walaupun sudah lebih 3 000 th. nampak macam baru lagi. Dasyat kemampuan orang Mesir zaman dulu. Saya duk belek dengan mata barang2 tu punyalah lama. 3 jam dalam pameran tu tak terasa. Ish, hebat sungguh, tu baru sikit yg. dilihat. Bayangkan kalau kita yg. buka tomb tu macam Howard Carter? Hm...kata2 Carter ,".......everywhere is a glint of gold"

Museum aje dalam New York City ada 22 buah. bangunan2 lama pun are pieces of arts by themselves. walaupun lama di sini setiap kali saya ke New York City mesti terlangut2 tengok keindahan bangunannya.

I wish to recall the period during which knowledge in ancient Egypt flourished and whence  the building of awesome structures like the pyramid was probably made by more efficient methods

Third Dynasty 2707-2639

Netjerykhet-Djoser 3rd dynasty 2690-2670 BC.

He is also known as Djoser, Hermes Trismegistus (Greek), Thoth (Egypt), Servant Of The Holy (Arabic) and many others.( Could he also be the Prophet Idris or whether Prophet Idris once served under him ? I shall check on this later. I may be looking for trouble here!!.)It is said that Djoser was the author of, The Sciences, Mathematics, Arts and Architecture.

The Sciences; The art of transforming base material into gold, called Hermetic Sciences.

He was also known as The Master Healer, Master of Botany, Medicine and Alchemy. Mathematics; Land Surveying, Geometry, The Science Of Numbers, which is where Pythagoras stole mathematical formulas which he attributed to himself (Pythagorean Theorem).

Arts; Hieroglyphics (Sacred Carvings). The arts of reading, oratory in all of its branches (The Cartouche).

Architecture; He initiated The use of Levitation, the process of moving huge stones while constructing the pyramid. He also initiated the use of Laser, a device use for cutting stone.

Tak biasa. Adapun hanya ke Frisco (6 bulan)dan rantau di sebelah sana seperti LA, Denver dll.

Ttg Akhnaten saya kira kerana ia telah keluar dari tradisi ugama berbilang tuhan. Ada terbaca ada usaha untuk mengikisnya dari sejarah Egypt...entahlah! Saya kena ulang kaji semula..CPU dah berkarat...
