Move

[edit]

The decision to move this page was very incorrect. The material on this page is about Ahhotep I, Ahmose's mother. Ahhotep II is a later queen. Furthermore, there's another ahhotep queen page, somthing a little mispelled, which should be merged or deleted, because it's about this queen as well.

I moved this page from Ahhotep II to Ahhotep I, because Grimal and Shaw both say that this queen is Ahhotep I. Furthermore, I suggest that the redundant page Aahhotep I be merged into this page, because they are clearly about the same person and Ahhotep I is the more common (and more correct) form of the name.

The Aegaean wouldn't be called "Yawan" until the Ionians started colonizing in about 900BC, therefore, the Ancient Egyptians wouldn't have called them "Yawan." The Aegaean Sea was known as the "The Great Green (Sea)", and the Greek mainland, or at least part of it, was probably "Tanaju," but was general refered to as just "The Islands Beyond the Sea." Even this article states that in one epithets of the Queen. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 170.173.0.16 (talk) 00:10, 26 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • ... that the discovery of a coffin belonging to Ahhotep I, which had been reused to bury a high priest, ignited a debate among scholars over the true number of Egyptian queens named Ahhotep?
  • Source: "In 1859, a discovery was made at Dra Abu el-Naga of the burial of a queen. The deceased was named as Queen-Consort Ahhotep on her coffin... However, the identification of this Ahhotep with the historically-known wife of King Seqenenra-Tao and mother of King Ahmose was thrown into doubt with the discovery of another coffin from the Deir el-Bahari cache, which also identified the owner as Queen-Consort Ahhotep... This has led to considerable debate over their identities, familial relationships and discussions of whether there were one, two, or even three Ahhoteps." (Sidpura, pp. 21, 23)
"In 1881, the discovery of the cache at Deir el-Bahri revealed a second coffin for a queen Ahhotep... which contained no more the original mummy but had been reused to host the body of Pinudjem I." (Betro, pp. 134-135).
