		<description>Interesting thing:  how does this &quot;most beautiful woman in the world&quot;, Helen, end up with her sister&#039;s tomb  in Mycenae: &quot;Clytemenestra&quot;, (or the sex organ of Istarte/Ishtar/Easter/Easter) with a cartouche of an Egyptian pharaoh, the greatest pharaoh of all time: Amenhotep III.... and his beautiful queen Tiya in it??? Huh? Pyramid, cartouche...&quot;most beautiful woman&quot;.....read on.....

 Queen Tiya the is &quot;Cinderella of reality&quot;, btw...of &quot;common&quot; peasant origin...and married a real life Prince Charming....and she is a beautiful black woman, the biblical Leah.

But so strange...because, this must also be the time his daughter-in-law, the &quot;other&quot; most beautiful woman in the world&quot;,   Nefertiti,    goes &quot;missing&quot; from these so-called well-kept Egyptian records......along with her daughters and I also notice how many times in this article Hercules/Heracles seems to be connected to Troy...or is it Tyre?? Or Troy...or Tyre?? I get *confused* and I suspect, so did those relaying the story the last 4000 years.  Troy was no &quot;city&quot; ever. No &quot;Temple of Hercules&quot; found there, none. 

No way a huge army took ten years to play &quot;king of the hill&quot; and &quot;conquer&quot; a tiny 5 acre hilltop fort, no way. Hissarlik is not &quot;Troy.&quot; Look in northern Africa: Tyre is real. Troy? No record of any &quot;Troy&quot; to be found in historical documents we can verify. No &quot;commerce&quot;, that is a wet dream of some Jewish professor wanting more funding to keep digging in Hissarlik: he made a computer animation and &quot;created&quot; a city where no remains are to be found, all BS. Just that little hill, and small village outside it&#039;s gate. Ten years of seige...and no Mycenaean remains, no weapons...nothing? C&#039;mon. Tyre is where the legend was formed.

Who was king of Tyre? &quot;Hiram&quot;....actually Horemheb. Appointed by Amenhotep III. Vassal of Egypt.

Amenhotep III aka &quot;Nebu Ma&#039;atre.&quot; ( He is the basis of the Solomon legend, btw). &quot;Nebu&quot;, remember that, very important to get this correct.  The Babylonian title of an Egyptian pharaoh. &quot;Solomon&#039;s&quot; Babylonian title. Remember, he &quot;turned his back on the Lord&quot;?  Had a &quot;temple builder&quot; king buddy named &quot;Hiram&quot;? Amenhotep III: has a temple building king buddy named &quot;Horem&quot; and they are not the same people?? Please.

Yeah, and Amenhotep III&#039;s city, &quot;On&quot;, it  was called &quot;The Shining Aten&quot;....this Aten worship handed down from his grandfather, passed to his son Akhenaton, who founded Akhetaten...then got tossed from Egypt.  Founded At(h)ens. Founded the ancient city of &quot;Hatten&quot; in present day Israel. Goddess At(h)en(a). Ate(o)nis/Adonis, her brother. Egyptian roots.

Aten worship in Greece after Nefertiti goes missing....mmmm. Mmmm  @ 1200 BC...*interesting coincidences*, don&#039;t you agree?&quot;Aga Memnon&quot;...mmmm... and in Egypt, where the Colossi of Memnon stands until now: a Mycenaean settlement behind it? Go figure!

And who was Amenhotep III&#039;s official &quot;Messenger of the Lord?&quot; Official Messenger of the Lord?&quot;
 Horem, the king of Tyre. Amenhotep III is listed as making a route of his kingdom to Tyre, Byblos, Crete, Rhodes, Mycenae, etc. Not Phoenicians. Egyptians. Black. His navy (Solomon&#039;s navy, the real one), his lands, his empire. He was Lord. His best friend?

Horem. Horemheb. &quot;The Hebe.&quot; (Forget not: Yuya was Amenhotep III&#039;s father-in-law , he is the biblical Joseph) Horem&#039;s nickname? Nan-Hamu. Horem Hamu. Is he the original source of the story? A Scribe of Egypt? Well, yes, I think so, and he would be the one that knew of the royal prince, of vast fame in battle and strength....with an &quot;odd&quot; birth defect: His left lower leg was shriveled at birth, causing his leg to be pointed down...his heel always exposed. Actual mummy found in royal tomb....do your own research. 

Horem:  Most likely of Lebanese extraction, Syrian/Phoenician... Homer? Digging deeper: Amarna letter from Mittani king Tushratta informs us when Akhenaton was forced from throne....he changed his name to Nebudurriya, which is the Babylonian for...Nebuchadresser....another Nebu Egyptian king of Babylonia. And guess what? His wife was missing....and guess what else? Horem was in Tyre, married to Nefertiti&#039;s sister Mut. Oddly always depicted with her Two Dwarfs.

Historic records tell us Nebuchadresser laid seige to Tyre, and forced it to pay tribute. History also tells us that Horem later, after Ay, his buddy, died, became pharaoh, and he destroyed all the images of Ahkenaton, Yuya (Yusef, son of Yacob), Aten, Semenkhare he could find....and Nefertiti never shows up again. Tut, Horem knew has his buddy grandson....and loved him like a son. Horem is the one that left the historic message to his fellow Egyptians: do not forget the foreigners have murdered your king and betrayed him&quot;...

Let me explain what I think happened: Paris is known in myth as &quot;The Shepherd of Mt. Ida&quot;, which is on Crete. Tacitus tells us this is the original home of the Jews.  Greek myth also tells us this is the historical home of Homer. Art work and images depict Trojans, Phyrigians, and Paris wearing skullcaps. The 18 &amp;19th dynasties of Egypt were the Hebrews...figure it out. Amenhotep III&#039;s cartouche is found at Temple of Knossos on Crete......his land. Not &quot;Mycenaean&quot;...Egyptian.

I don&#039;t think &quot;females&quot; were being kidnapped: I think statues of female Goddesses were being nabbed, and in fact, Nebuchadresser (Ahkenaton/Father Nathon, Sol/Saul the Sun King) levels a city to retrieve the Sun Disk of Marduk at this exact time and return it to Babylon.

I think the &quot;Queen of Sheba&quot; was the Armarna letter documented &quot;visit&quot; (twice!) guarded by &quot;Shepas&quot; (Sherpas?) of the Statue of Shausga, aka Ishtar, sent to his good friend Amenhotep III to bring him good health. He had already sent a princess daughter for Amenhotep III to marry, along with 300 handmaidens and servants, then a sister. Now, he was sending his &quot;mistress&quot;, the statue of the goddess Ishtar. Filled with her KA...and feared like she was actually there...the &quot;gods and goddesses&quot; fighting during the &quot;Trojan war? I think Paris the Jewish judge/shepherd picked a winner in a &quot;beauty contest&quot; of competing statues of goddesses, then stole it and left. I am sure of it. And, I think it was a statue of Nefertiti as Ishtar/Isis. 

Amenhotep III was a very handsome and dashing black African man (based on tomb wall drawings I have seen, this guy was Hollywood handsome), with 700 wives and 300 concubines (&quot;Lion man&quot;, killed over 100 lions before he was 16, the &quot;Lab&#039;Ayu&quot; of the bible, see his lions and pyramid at the Tomb of Clytemenestra in Mycenae!)...and is the pharaoh in the ancient Egyptian tale of &quot;Rhoposis&quot; (Rosy-cheeked)...the original Cinderella story...she had &quot;frizzy blonde hair, green eyes and milky white sun-burned skin&quot;.....golden slippers......and was tormented by the three black Egyptian female &quot;slaves&quot; she was tasked to work (I think it was a harem in point of fact, because Tiye is one of the tormenters, Merytaten, a princess daughter of Ahkenaton, another) with by the Egyptian that bought her from the Greek sailor that had kidnapped her in southern Greece. 

So, let&#039;s accept the obvious: northern Africa, like today, was a melting pot of the people, including Chinese merchants, that sailed these waters since time immemorial, we&#039;ll never know how long...but at least 100,000 years of sailing, you can count on that.

 They weren&#039;t &quot;black&quot; in northern Africa exclusively...but mostly were.  They instead were, because of the convenient for trade, agriculture location and desirable climate, constantly fending off invaders.

These were sometimes &quot;lighter-skinned&quot; brown people of north and southeastern Eurasia and India, and descended from Neandertals(Europeans and Asians) and Africans do not have that DNA. The ancient Urartus....Arartu...Ararat. Sumerians were &quot;Armenoid&quot; by anthropological standards: Aryan/Iranian/Hurrian/Phyrigian/..the &quot;Ya&quot; people. King Tushratta reminds Akhenaton when he gets tossed from throne: &quot;remember, the Armenian kings were the first great kings.&quot; &quot;Sumeria.&quot;Then Ahkenaton becomes Nebuchadresser....and Babylon flourishes to new heights.....but where is his beautiful queen: Nefertiti?

She went with &quot;Paris&quot;, see the &quot;Phaistos Disk deciphered&quot; by Lexiline/Andis Kaulins for the answer!!!

Lastly: while traveling in Cameroon a few years ago, I met a very sweet and lovely family...and they had a young granddaughter, maybe 18 months, 2 years.....darkest black skin possible...and the bluest eyes I have ever seen.

Just sayin&#039;....those dancing girl images of Amenhotep III&#039;s reign? Black/brown skin....some have green/blue eyes......</description>

		<description>This is interesting because it shows that media effects how information is passed on over time. Since the Egyptians have written records of these events, we have a direct source. However, over time the media and history has been controlled by Europeans and they have the power to include or omit any information they want to.</description>

		<description>It is vital to keep records of history. Generation after generation have passed down stories as well as these legends and myths. I think it&#039;s interesting to hear different variations of these stories but it&#039;s vital to be informed.</description>

		<description>It just goes to show you how that racism has been around for a very long time. It seems that Africans have consistently been ignored and taken out of history.</description>

		<description>Again, the author&#039;s theory on Helen of Troy is just that, a theory.  Also, I think he is overestimating the importance of this anecdote.  &quot;It is a legend that lies at the very core of what is commonly called Western Civilization and Culture.&quot;  I don&#039;t think so.</description>

		<description>I find it very interesting how some historical information can be transformed into something that can be considered as a totally different situation.  A myth as long told as the the story of the Trojan War is a prime example. I feel that there was a lot of historical content that somehow lost its way as time passed.</description>

		<description>I think that as myths get passed down, information tend to get lost most of the time.  It was really interesting to read the actual story of Troy, because I&#039;ve heard similar versions but not exactly like this.</description>

		<description>Myths may be served as stories passed down and because they are repeated, they are qualified as history.  These myths may be misinformation It is important for people to protect their history in order for it to be passed down and be true.  I am glad the Egyptians saved their history by writing things down and containing them in libraries, for future findings.</description>
