[5] As will be recorded at the end of this volume, the body of Akhnaton was discovered by Mr Theodore M. Davis at Thebes early in 1907; but at the time of writing (1908) the results have not been published in book form, though various articles have appeared.
[6] The writer has to thank the editors of ‘The Quarterly Review,’ ‘Blackwood’s Magazine,’ and ‘The Century Magazine,’ for permitting him to embody in this volume certain portions of articles contributed by him to the pages of those journals.
[10] Of Thothmes III. at Karnak, of Aahmes I. at Abydos, and of Senusert III. at Amada.
[11] These ages are discussed on pages 111 and 178 (note).
[12] Petrie, History, ii. p. 183. The portrait upon which he bases this statement, however, may be that of Akhnaton (fig. 115, p. 182). The mouth and chin are extremely like those of Yuaa, as seen in his mummy; but again they both have a close resemblance to the head of Amonhotep III. (_idem_, fig. 120, p. 188). Of course, such evidence is extremely frail, and must not be too much relied upon.
[14] He took the name Akhnaton in about the sixth year of his reign.
[15] His statue is at Turin. See also Erman, ‘Life in Ancient Egypt,’ p. 297.
[17] Recently discovered by the present writer whilst repairing this tomb.
[18] His mummy is that of a man of not more than fifty.
[19] The wise man Amonhotep-son-of-Hapu was steward of Princess Setamon’s estate, but this may have been previous to her mention in her grandparents’ tomb.
[22] It is usual for Egyptian girls to become mothers at about the age of thirteen, though sometimes earlier. They often continue to bear children at intervals of about two years, over a period of thirty years or so. Fifteen children is thus the usual number of a family, but half these generally die in babyhood.
[24] Scarabs of the early period are sometimes inscribed _Neb-nef-nezem_, which has this meaning.
