Egyptian Royalty

Today I wanted to mention the Egyptian Papyrus Paintings of Egyptian Royalty found at www.a1-nile-papyrus.biz/Egyptian-Royalty.html. These fantastic papyrus paintings feature the powerful rulers of Egypt's distant past.

Foremost in most peoples' mind when they think of Egyptian royalty is the young pharaoh Tutankhamun better known as King Tut. Tut died at the tragically young age of 19. There are 2 paintings of Tut with his wife Ankhesena, and one of Tut with Horus an early God.

Then there is Akhenaton the pharaoh that introduced the concept of one god (Aton the sun) and 2 of his famous wife Neferiti.

The other Famous Egyptian that comes to mind is Cleopatra and there is a beautiful painting of her.

The Royalty collection rounds out with the Ramses II possibly the most accomplished and famous of all the ancient pharaohs who ruled for an amazing 67 years. We have Ramses aboard his war chariot (Ramses was an successful general) and Ramses fishing the Nile with what would be considered unsual today, with a bow and arrow.
