(post truncated to include accurate info only) As annoyed as I am as well about the whole Tut show thing theres a few things I have to correct before I go nuts.
This is NOT Tut’s mother.
This is actually his paternal grandmother Queen Tiye, who was the royal consort of King Amenhotep. She is the mother of King Akhenaton. Who fathered King Tut and Ankhsunamun. Tut’s mother is unknown but it is believed that she is the “Younger Lady” discovered in KV55.
However, because of the inbreeding and genetic diseases that comes with interbreeding it is hard to find exactly where generational lines are separated. But one theory is that King Tuts mother, the “Younger Lady” is in fact
But because of the disparity in archeological findings in KV55 and the desecration of Tuts tomb in the Valley of the Kings it is very difficult to pinpoint his birth mother. It is believed to be either one of Akhenatons lesser sister-wives, or one of his cousins.
I’m not saying this removes the show from its deviations in Egyptian History, ESPECIALLY DURING THE ARMANA PERIOD. I’m just glad they that AT LEAST casted POC as characters. This does not exclude the show from criticism, but PLEASE get your facts straight before making false conclusions.
If I tried to teach you everything you would need to know about Familial relationships within the Armana Period of Ancient Egypt, which is literally known as the DARK AGES OF ANCIENT EGYPTIAN HISTORY I would literally have to drink myself into oblivion before I even started.
THIS IS KING TUTS FATHER
IDK who the person in this photoset is but that is definitely NOT King Akhenaten. It is WELL KNOWN that King Akhenaton had large lips, an elongated cranium that was well documented as a hereditary deformity caused by incest.
This WHOLE post is a cluster fuck of misinformation.
Y’all wonder why so many goddamn art historians are alcoholics.
Did Akhenaten also have “hips wider than his shoulders” ? And they tried to parlay that into him being neither male nor female but both like a god for political reasons? Or am i think of someone else idk but I spend a lot of time reading about that era of ancient Egypt and I’m glad someone with the knowledge is stepping up to knock down the misinformation.
You are ALSO CORRECT!
Its subject to a huge debate (gotta love scholars) but it is believed that Akhenaton may have actually been intersex. As he was referred as to having BOTH main male and female sex characteristics. But this is an issue for some scholars as there was a differentiation of relief sculpture in this time period. If you notice how humans are depicted in the 18th Dynasty versus previous dynasties its easy to see the shift from geometric to organic forms. Less rigidness to more curved and liquified reliefs.
People who think Bruce would be team cap are so incredibly ridiculous. Like yes he hates Ross and doesn’t trust him at all so i think he would spend the entire time begging tony to remove him from the equation (which, like, literally might have stopped civil war from starting) but he NEVER would have joined team cap. If not for his giant guilt complex that would relish in accountability then because of Wanda. One of the prime motivators for team cap was that Wanda was on house arrest. People rallied behind Wanda in her defense of what happened in Lagos because a mistake was made. Do you think for a second that Bruce would believe that? Or even care? Bruce hates Wanda. Bruce said that he could kill her with his bare hands “wouldn’t change a shade.” Wanda forced him to Hulk out and attack a city in AoU which is realistically the only case where he would feel anger mostly towards someone else, not himself. Dear sweet Bruce is a scientist, and when he can swing it, a pacifist. But he straight up wanted to kill Wanda because of revenge.
In civil war he would try and stop the fighting. He would try and get rid of Ross, which shouldnt be too hard because one of the major concerns for the accords was that the avengers were too American. But if teams were separated and team cap held the treatment of WANDA up as the rallying cry you can be damn sure Bruce is staying with his science bro. Or he’ll just leave again because like I said- pacifist.
