On January 6, 1907 a mysterious tomb was uncovered in the Valley of the Kings by English archaeologist Edward R. Ayrton, digging on behalf of Theodore M. Davis. Initially identified as the burial of Amenophis III's queen, Tiye (Tîyi), on the basis of a spectacular gilded shrine which formed part of the burial equipment, the body itself was later recognized as that of a man buried in a coffin adapted for the use of an Amarna-period pharaoh. Was this the mummy of Akhenaten himself, as some at the time believed? Or the body of Akhenaten's mysterious co-regent, Smenkhkare? Almost a century later, Tomb 55 (as it is now generally known) continues to baffle archaeologist and Egyptologist alike. The Tomb of Queen Tîyi, which first appeared in 1910, was Davis's official account of the enigmatic Tomb 55 discovery, and remains a crucial source both for the Amarna period and for Valley of the Kings studies generally. It is here republished with Davis's equally fundamental The Tomb of Siphtah, which details the excavator's discoveries of 1905-7 - among them the extraordinary ‘animal tombs’ and the ‘Gold Tomb’, one of the greatest caches of 19th Dynasty jewelry ever found.

My Son, Ikhnaton contains much previously unknown information regarding the life of the Egyptian Pharaoh, Ikhnaton. The story is told through the eyes of his mother, Queen Tiye. During Ann Ree Colton's daily meditation one day, quite unexpectedly, she began to recall in vivid detail the life and times of Ikhnaton, who lived about 1300 years before the birth of Christ. Ikhnaton was unique among Pharaohs because of his belief in one God, and he was the first national leader in the history of the world to practice non-violence as a means of preserving his nation, its peoples, and its ideals. His love for art and architecture were reflected in the Golden City he sought to build in Upper Egypt. Ikhnaton was a forerunner-soul whose story will open many new doors to understanding a dynamic former era and its contributions to modern times.
