We soon realized that this account of Pharaoh Psusennes had to be one of the finest in the long series of “The Secrets of the Dead” tht PBS broadcasts. This account, incredibly enough, adds to the complex history of ancient Egypt. It even reveals what we had not known about the rivalry between two factions in Egyptian society about 1,000 B. C. And it obviously reinforces the patient expertise of Egyptologists. Only one small fragment baffled us: the introduction of Adolf Hitler and the start of WW II leading the determined archeologist to return to France to be with his wife and daughters as the Nazis rose to power. A brief verbal message would have sufficed, we think.
Thank you for your leadership, THIRTEEN, in the production of fine viewing! Frederick G. Rodgers, Ph.D.
This was a wonderful episode, though I would have enjoyed rather than images of gold,
or photos of people today,
more important to me would be images of the writings that was in the footage.
Thank you for all you do!
In the May/June 2005 edition of ARCHAEOLOGY the Silver Pharaoh is claimed to be Sheshonq II???

I really enjoyed this episode.I thought I knew a fair amount about Egypt but all this was fascinating. I did appreciate the effort made to explain why this discovery is not as well known as others, as well as the historical explanations, the re-enactment of events leading to the discovery, the drawing of the pharoah’s face…..super stuff. Thank you.
In response to Otway Chalkley, the Wikipedia says Sheshonq II and Psusennes were found in adjacent tombs, both with silver coffins:

Hi , Thank you for another informative blog , keep up your work, webmaster !
I just watched this crucial episode; I really appreciate the efforts of all who have worked on it. Still Egypt leading the world and amzing us.
Wow! Its amazing how the ancient egiptcians did many statues to their kings as kufu, ramses and many other that still standing yet it is awful to know that these people believe in many gods and some even did cults for the Devil by making sacrifices but well anyways they were great sculptors though!
It always irks me when PBS makes predictable and totally unnecessary biblical references in shows. I assume it is a calculated effort to lend credence, where none is warranted, to the Old Testament. A similar needless extended reference to Nazis and WW2 here was calculated to turn the viewer’s mind to Zionism and Israel’s ‘right to exist’. The references to Shoshenq I, if they were so necessary, should have included how impossible it is to link Shoshenq I’s life into the biblicial account of things…in other words, the Kings & Chronicles timeline is an invention of people long after actual history.
If it is necessary to link the bible into actual Egyptian history, then Psusenne I was Pharaoh concurrently with the majority of King David’s reign (if he ever actually lived). The reason this is of interest is biblical ’scholars’ hide behind an all encompassing ‘Dark Age’ in which ‘all evidence magically disappears’. Yet, here is next door neighbor Psusenne I who was able to accomplish monolithic works (moving a city), whose traces, both former and latter, are found! Yet, we can find NOTHING of Kings, Saul, David or Solomon! Still while everyone else can be found by archaeologists, these ‘great kings’ of Israel leave NO TRACES AT ALL. Still Zionist propagandists, like those who proliferate in the halls of PBS, make sure in each and every episode of history, that we ‘never forget’ the Jewish propaganda angle. You show contempt for the intelligence of your audience when you pursue this propaganda angle and it will stick to you in historical reviews of your activities.
I started reading the National Geographic when I was 12 years old, my parents had a subscription, and reading it engendered a Life-Long Love of anything to do with the Pharoahs, Egypt, It’s history…. This was a wonderful program… I enjoyed it immensely!!! Oh, and why can’t people enjoy it , just for informations sake, without all the Religious and PoliticaL REFERENCES???
aColitEditExitfile Exclusive yes oh yse thecommon prefexter you der san
Fantastic web log! I genuinely admire this thinking and the way you’ve put any of these content in your article!
Hi I have been looking on the internet but I am not really sure what is involved in the everyday job of a forensic psychologist and it is something that sounds quite interesting and I might like to pursue, is there anybody who has studied and is a forensic psychologist, is it a good job and is it about 5-6 years (3 year degree in psychology and about 2 years training and observation?)
Thanks xxxxxxxx
