Katherine, no where do I suggest the King HAD to marry anyone, I am however attempting to point out that on occasion, king's did marry their father's youngest daughters-often half sisters and I conjecture that this tradition is related to matrilinear land rights and or religious roles. Amenhotep II was a curious man. What happened to the role of Second Prophet of Amen during his reign? Where did it go? Why did it suddenly vanish?
Sitamun may be the daughter of Amenhotep and Tiye but there is nothing definitive that disproves that she was in fact Amenhotep's half-sister.
Countless genealogical lists indicate how important family ties were, yet Egyptian kinship terms lacked specific words to identify blood relatives beyond the nuclear family. For example, the word used to designate "mother" was also used for "grandmother," and the word for "father" was the same as "grandfather"; likewise, the terms for "son," "grandson," and "nephew" (or "daughter," "granddaughter," and "niece") were identical. "Uncle" and "brother" (or "sister" and "aunt") were also designated by the same word. To make matters even more confusing for modern scholars, the term "sister" was often used for "wife," perhaps an indication of the strength of the bond between spouses.
The Ta-Seti are the forebearers of the Hadendoa which extend down the Horn and up to Aswan.
They are the Oryx clan of the Beja today. They were considered foreigners by Ramessese.
If the Amarna laborers are in fact native Egyptians, is it possible that they were soldier laborers? Is it possible that they were of a particularly poor economic stratum in society before they came to Amarna? Perhaps their work contribution was related to the sanatorium of the city of the Aten? I read all these white and black dualities- Akhenaten the religious Ayatollah or Akhenaten the Buddha - Akhenaten the Moses.-
Where is the enlightened philosophy in any of this?
Science requires some objective creativity does it not?
