In Response To: Re: Amenhotep son of Hapu (lluisa)

I have read that the mummy labeled as Thutmose I is probably that of someone else. But it is less obvious who it might actually be. Statuary was highly stylyzed and reconstruction of living facial features from mummies seems to involve considerable guesswork. My own guess is that the mummy designated as Thutmose I is actually Tao/Apophis I. It's just an intuition based on the character of the face and the characterization of Tao (Terah) from the Bible.
