Note 84 — VIII. THE FALL OF THE RELIGION OF AKHNATON.

See note on page 67. This inscription is found on the doorposts of the tomb of Horemheb, which, by the greatly increased titles, were set up some time after the rest of the tomb was finished, and thus probably in the reign of Tutankhaton. A fragment of gold-leaf has recently been found showing this king in his chariot charging Asiatic enemies. The present writer recently found part of a shrine of his in the desert on the road to the gold mines. See ‘Travels in the Upper Egyptian Deserts’ (Blackwood).
