‘IDENTIFYING THE ROYAL MUMMIES’ – NOW AVAILABLE
The big question related to the Royal Mummies of Ancient Egypt is how certain we are of their identities. Several otherwise anonymous mummies have recently been claimed as famous rulers – such as Hatshepsut, Nefertiti, and Ramesses I; whilst theories abound as to the identity of the ‘Screaming Man’ royal mummy, (Unknown Man E).
I have studied this subject in considerable depth for many years, and my thorough review of the evidence is now available in Identifying the Royal Mummies (Part Four of Refugees for Eternity: The Royal Mummies of Thebes). Here you can see how how strong or otherwise the identifications of all the royal mummies are, including a great deal more depth on the ‘Screaming Man’ mummy (Unknown Man E) than appeared on recent TV programmes. Identifying the Royal Mummies may be purchased by worldwide customers here(see PUBLICATIONS). UK customers may also purchase the book through Amazon.co.uk; Museum Books, Oxbow Books, and the EES.

The Royal Mummies of Thebes: Their Journeys and Resting Places.

It has been broken into four parts, each of which will be issued on completion.

Part Four. Identifying the Royal Mummies. Now available. Buy here. A thorough evaluation of the methods used to identify Royal Mummies and how good they are.
