Curious. However Tutenkhamun, the son of the "heretic Pharoah" Akhenaten, did not actually live for long enough to become a "Great Pharoah"... The only reason he is so well known today, why his grave was so well preserved, was that he was too obscure during and immediately after his lifetime to be a target of grave-robbers. Tutenkhamun's present-day fame comes almost entirely from the discovery of his burial site in the early 20th century CE.
True, Great Pharaoh probably not, best known, maybe?
I'm not surprised by this information myself, as the Basque people are the oldest known race of Western Europe, and are also genetically linked to the peoples of the British Isles, one of the more wilder speculations, out there also, is the Basques are not basques, but a people who long ago, came from the kingdom of Atlantis and Lemuria, which was destroyed by a massive Earthquake near the Canary Islands. A wave an aftereffect destroyed the Island of Atlantis.
Have you been to Northern Spain? I'd love to hear about it. It's one of the places on my "Bucket" list.Hi exo_doc,
Basque people are great hosts and make great food and wine
mm I've heard those theories too. The most compelling theory re. Atlantis is that it may have been an island that erupted at about the time of the Minoan civilisation. Although honestly it is also possible that Plato just made it up.
