King Tutankhamun and the Royal Family of the Eighteenth Dynasty of Ancient Egypt
By Albert Zink
Sickness, Hunger, War, and Religion: Multidisciplinary Perspectives, eds. Michaela Harbeck, Kristin von Heyking and Heiner Schwarzberg (RCC Perspectives, 2012)
Introduction: The genealogy of Tutankhamun is one of the greatest remaining unsolved mysteries in Egyptology. For decades, experts all over the world have studied and debated the pharaoh’s true lineage. However, due to the lack of concrete archaeological and Egyptological evidence, no conclusion was reached until now.
In 1922 Howard Carter uncovered the almost undisturbed tomb and the royal mummy of a nineteen-year-old boy from the late Eighteenth Dynasty, now popularly known as King Tut. This burial trove remains one of the most remarkable discoveries in Egyptology to date, capturing the public imagination in an unprecedented way, and Tutankhamun’s life (and the causes of his premature death) 3,300 years ago continues to be a subject of fascination. However, despite the wealth of artifacts found, the tomb contained very little information about Tutankhamun’s origins and family. Some names of key figures from the period appear amongst the artifacts, but no one inscription definitively tells us who the pharaoh’s parents were. Furthermore, few other mummies from the Amarna period have been definitively identified. Many Egyptologists believe that Tutankhamun was born to the pharaoh Akhenaten and his great royal wife Nefertiti, or his second wife Kiya, but these claims are highly debated.

THE INTERDENOMINATIONAL INTERPRETERS BIBLE
If all the denominations of the world assembled and presented the world with a new translation of the Bible, what would it contain?
Comparison of the New King James Version (NKJV) and how the Interdenominational Interpreters Bible (IIB) might appear.
NKJV: John 16:23 "And in that day you will ask Me nothing. Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My nameHe will give you.
IIB: John 16:23 "And in that day you will ask Me nothing. Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name, the name of the Virgin Mary, and the names other dead saints He will give you.
NKJV: Hebrews 6:4-6 For it is impossible for those who were once enlighten, and have tasted the heavenly gift , and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, 5 and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, 6 if they fall away, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put Him to an open shame.
IIB: Hebrews 6:4-6 It is possible for those who were once enlighten, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit 5 and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, if they fall away, to renew then again to repentance, because all Christians are once saved always saved......
NKJV: Mark 16:16 "He who believes and is baptized will be saved;but he who does not believe will be condemned.
IIB: Mark 16:16 "He who believes is already saved and should be baptized as a testimony of his faith; but he who does not believe will be condemned.
NKJV: Galatians 1:8 But even if we,or an angel from heaven,preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed.
IIB: Galatians 1:8 But even we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other way to be saved do not judge them, because we are all going to the same place anyway. God has given many denominations, and various doctrines, and different paths to heaven.
BEWARE OF THE INTERDENOMINATIONAL INTERPRETERS BIBLE!
