A well preserved body from the pre-dynastic period in Egypt, circa 3,300 BC. Buried in a sand grave, the natural dryness of the surroundings kept the body preserved. His red hair have been so well preserved that he has been given the nickname "Ginger" at the British Museum where he is kept on public display. Right: "Ginger's" head. |
Queen Hetop-Heres II, of the Fourth Dynasty, the daughter of Cheops, the builder of the great pyramid, is shown in the colored bas reliefs of her tomb to have been a distinct blonde. Her hair is painted a bright yellow stippled with little red horizontal lines, and her skin is white. The Races of Europe, Carleton Stevens Coon, New York City, Macmillan. 1939, p.98) |
Syrian and Hittite Prisoners in the tomb, south wall of the second court, circa 1325 BC. The Egyptians took care to portray their enemies as accurately as they could: On the left, a pair of Indo-European Hittites, and on the right, Semitics from Syria. |
RAMSES II - LAST SIGNIFICANT WHITE RED HAIRED PHARAOH Egypt's last display of national vigor came with the red haired Pharaoh Ramses II Several dates have been given as to his reign. (1292 - 1225 BC). Ramses II managed to re-establish the already decaying Egyptian Empire by recapturing much land in Nubia. He also fought a series of battles against invading Indo-Europeans, the Hittites. This was culminated with the battle of Kadesh in northern Syria. Ramses signed a treaty with the Hittites in 1258 BC, which ended the war. In terms of the treaty, Ramses took as his wife an Indo-European Hittite princess. His other achievements included the building of the rock-hewn temple of Abu Simbel, the great hall in the Temple of Amon at Karnak, and the mortuary temple at Thebes. After this king, Egypt entered into a steady period of decay, caused directly by the elimination of the original Egyptians, and their replacement with a mixed population made up of Black, Semitic and the remnant White population. This racially divergent nation was never again to reach the heights achieved by the First, Second or the first part of the Third Kingdoms. In these later years there were competing claimants to the pharaohs throne, many of whom, racially speaking, bore no resemblance to the original pharaohs at all. Professor P. F. Ceccaldi, with a research team, studied some hairs from the mummy's scalp. Ramesses II was thought to be 87 years-old when he died, and his hair had turned white. Ceccaldi determined that the reddish-yellow color of the hair was due to a dye with a dilute henna solution. Many Egyptians dyed their hair, and this personal habit was preserved by the embalmers. However, traces of the hair's original color remained in the roots. Microscopic examinations showed that the hair roots contained natural red pigments, and that therefore, during his younger days, Ramesses II had been a red head. Analysis concluded that these red pigments did not result from the hair somehow fading, or otherwise being altered after death, but did represent Ramesses' natural hair color. Ceccaldi also studied the cross-section of the hairs, and determined from their oval shape, that Ramesses had been "cymotrich" (wavy-haired). Finally, he stated that such a combination of features showed that Ramesses had been a "leucoderm" (white-skinned person). The mummy of the red haired Egyptian King, Ramses II, is on public display at the Egyptian Museum, Cairo Forensics tests were done on Ramses, proving that his red hair was 'natural'. Ref: Ramses the Great by National Geographics. Also during that time 1290 BC - Much evidence of mass destruction of cities that would have occurred with the Israelite invasion of Canaan. 1290 BC - the Israelites, under the leadership of Moses, left Egypt for "the promised land" of Canaan in the Exodus "1290 BC" is significant since 1,290 is the number specifically mentioned in Dan. Ramses II managed to re-establish the already decaying Egyptian Empire by recapturing much land in Nubia. |
Thutmosis III As a youth, Thutmose III was given the title of co-regent to Egypt, with his step mother, Hatshepsut, ruling as Pharoah. Sir Isaac Newton was the first to claim that the Sesostris of Herodotus, whose conquests were the same as those of Tuthmoses III, was the Biblical Shishak It has been recorded that Queen Hatshepsut of Egypt (Land of Punt - S. Egypt -Africa) visited Solomon and " brought back the seed of Solomon" She gave birth to a child, Menelik who later .was given the position of chief priest of the Aten religion of Akhanaton. It is my belief that Menelik was Moses This statue of Thutmosis III was made of basalt and kept in the Egyptian Museum, Cairo. Perhaps it has the actual size, it is about five feet tall - corresponding the ancient Egyptian average. It has nicely formed muscular structure, counterpointed by a face which has a hint of discord. It is not disturbing, but proves that the statue is strongly idealized. His benevolent look and nice smile are overruled by his strong nose, but his chin is definitely small. Since the statue had to resemble, these characters could not be changed. Egyptian papyrus -- part of the annals of Thutmose III Annuals of Life Reported by Thutmosis III "In the year 22 of the 3rd month of winter, sixth hour of the day... the scribes of the House of Life found it was a circle of fire that was coming in the sky... It had no head, the breath of its mouth had a foul odor. Its body one rod long and one rod wide. It had no voice. Their hearts became confused through it; then they laid themselves on their bellies... they went to the Pharaoh... to report it. His Majesty ordered... [an examination of] all which is written in the papyrus rolls of the House of life. His majesty was meditating upon what happened. Now after some days had passed, these things became more numerous in the skies than ever. They shone more in the sky than the brightness of the sun, and extended to the limits of four supports of the heavens... Powerful was the position of the fire circles. The army of the Pharaoh looked on with him in their midst. It was after supper. Thereupon, these fire circles ascended higher in the sky towards the south... The Pharaoh caused incense to be brought to make peace on the hearth... and what happened was ordered by the Pharaoh to be written in the annals of the House of life... so that it be remembered for ever." |
Depiction of Tuthmosis I from his daughter's Hatshepsut's temple at Deir el-Bahri Thutmose is a compound name made from Thoth, (the Egyptian God of Wisdom) and Mose (an Egyptian title or suffix indicating son of or rightful heir) . |
Akheperenre (Tuthmosis II) The mummy of Tuthmosis II was found at Deir el-Bahri in a replacement coffin (the original owner is unknown) covered in the remains of his original wrappings.

Queen Tiy (Taia,Tyre) Father was Yuya Mother Thuya Priestess of the God Amun AmenhotepIII who was the father of Aye whom replaced Tutankhamun after his death) The most brilliant and famous of Egypt's queens in 18th Dynasty Egypt. |
Yuya-(Joseph) Father of Tiry Biblical Joseph Egyptian Prime Minister during 1400 BC. Working backwards from the time of Yuya in the Egyptian 18th Dynasty, the identity of the first Joseph can be found among the great princes of the 12th Dynasty. Revealing his identity to his kinsmen who had sold him into slavery, Joseph claimed that "God had made him 'A father to Pharaoh'. Throughout the long history of ancient Egypt, only one man is known to have been given the title 'A father to Pharoah' - Yuya, a vizier of the eighteenth dynasty King Tuthmosis IV. Yuya has long intrigued Egyptologists because he was buried in the Valley of Kings even though he was not a member of the Royal House. Yuya's blonde hair and Caucasian facial struture have been well preserved by the embalming process. |
Thuya, Wife of Yuya. Equally blonde and caucasian. She was the great grandmother of Tutankhamen. Mother of Tiy |
Ramesses I was the founder of the 19th Dynasty A vizier under the last king of the 18th Dynasty, Horemheb, Ramesses I appears to have come to the throne as an appointment of his predecessor, who seems to have produced no heir. The time of departure of the Hebrews from Egypt would have been during the reign of Ramses I, the first king . |
Pharoah THUTMOSE III.. Egyptian ancient writings show: "One winter morning around the year 1,482 B.C. Thutmose III first saw a 'UFO'.... Described as; " a CIRCLE of FIRE", emitted no sound, it had no voice', according to inscriptions. After some days had passed, these things became more numerous in the skies than ever. "Were extremely bright or more...than the brightness of the sun, and were relatively small about 16' in diamater. Thutmose III was taken aboard and flew up to the sky and learned the secrets of Heaven ".....among the papers of the late Professor Alberto Tulli, former Director of the Egyptian section of the Vatican Museum. It is a fragment from the Royal Annals of Thuthmosis III (circa 1504-1450 B.C.) and when translated reads as follows: " 'In the year 22 third month of winter, sixth hour of the day...the scribes of the House of Life found it was a circle of fire that was coming in the sky (Though) it had no head, the breadth of its mouth (had) a foul odour. It's body one rod long (about 150 feet) and one rod large, It had no voice...Now, after some days had passed over these things, Lo! they were more numerous than anything. They were shining in the sky more than the sun to the limits of...heaven...Powerful was the position of the fire circles. The army of the king looked on and His Majesty was in the midst of it. It was after supper. Thereupon, they (the fire circles) went up higher directed towards the South.' ---------------------- Egypt, The Palace of Pharaoh Thutmosis III. Circles of fire are said to have hovered over the palace while fishes, winged creatures, and other objects rained down from the sky. Click the Here to read more on the Pharaohs and UFOs |
4000 BC - According to the Sumerian Texts, from today's Iraq, The extraterrestrials also interbred with humans and traveled with them to the stars. The kings were taken to the stars by the extraterrestrials. Sumerian text coincides with "the book of Genesis". Their astronomy was highly developed. They had numbers with 15 digits! The Sumerians say extraterrestrials are from Mars, the star system Pleiades, and the star Sirius. Sumerian text shows drawings of solar system |
Seti was the son of the great Ramses I,- Pharaoh Seti I reoccupied lands in Syria lost to earlier Syrian invasions, conquered Palestine and conducted campaigns against the Semitic Libyans and the Indo-European Hittites Seti , the son of Ramses I became Pharoah re-occuping the lands in Syria lost to earlier Syrian invasions, conquered Palestine and conducted campaigns against the Semitic Libyans and the Indo-European Hittites. The mummy of Pharaoh Seti I (Sethos I) is the most lifelike of the great pharaohs of Egypt, and a tribute to the embalmer's art. His caucasian features remain crystal clear and because of the excellent preservation process, Seti's mummy can easily be compared with a relief of his face made in his lifetime at the Temple at Abydos. Seti was the son of Ramses I. |
Ancient Egyptians used helicopters and airplanes for battles? In 1848, one of numerous archeological expeditions working in Egypt discovered strange hieroglyphs at the height of about ten meters right above the entrance to the Seti Temple in Abydos. The walls were covered with the strange signs that greatly puzzled researchers. The only thing the researchers realized at once was that they had discovered some images of strange mechanisms that nobody ever saw before. The Arab newspaper Al-Sharq Al-Awsat published several sensational photos taken in the Amon Ra Temple in Karnak. The photos the newspaper published demonstrated the bas-reliefs of an ancient temple built under Seti I who ruled 3,000 years ago; and on the bas-reliefs an ancient artist engraved a battle helicopter with a distinct rotor and a tail unit. Nearby, the artist depicted several other aircrafts astonishingly resembling contemporary supersonic fighters and heavy strategic bombers! Two almost identical sets of drawings were found at Karnak and Abydos. In Abydos, a submarine was engraved on the walls of the temple, along with a battle helicopter. |
The ancient Egyptians had a tradition of repeating the same name of their Pharoahs in different dynasties. Thus a father, son and grandson would have the same name but with first , second or third after it. The name TUTHMOSIS was given to four pharaohs in the 18th dynasty. This dynasty was a strong one, a dynasty which also included Queen Hatshepsut, one of the most powerful queens on Egypt. |

KING DJOSER (HORUS NETJERY-KHET) Identity: Djoser, King Material: Painted Limestone Period: Old Kingdom, 3rd Dynasty Reign: Djoser Dimensions: Height: 142 cm Width: 45.3 cm Length: 95.5 cm This statue is thought to be the oldest, life size, sculpture known from Egyptian antiquity. It was placed inside a small closed room (so-called "serdab") at the north eastern corner of the Step Pyramid of king Djoser in Sakkara, the earliest monumental construction made of stone. Here the statue became the dwelling of the "ka" or guardian spirit of the king who is represented seated on an elevated throne with a high back. He could thus hear the prayers, smell the scent of incense and enjoy the offerings. The king is shown wearing the "nemes" headdress, a false beard, and carries a scepter in his right hand. His eyes which were once inlaid with semi-precious stones retain a straight look giving it a lifelike effect. The inscription on the base of the throne gives the royal Horus name "Netjery-khet".
