The Missing Tomb of Amenhotep I

An online lecture by Dr Chris Naunton. Amenhotep I was the second king of the Eighteenth Dynasty, and of the great period Egyptologists call the New Kingdom. Although all kings were semi-divine he seems to have enjoyed an unusually elevated status as a kind of ‘patron saint’ of the workmen of Deir el-Medina, who cut the royal tombs in the Valley of Kings. And yet his own tomb is one of few belonging to the kings of this period that has never been found. There are several candidate locations all of which are explored in this talk… If you enjoy this video PLEASE SUBSCRIBE to my channel - more lectures will be coming soon!
