Ramses X1 and his tomb or pyramid?
345351
If you mean Ramses XI (roman numeral 11) - the final king of the 20th Dynasty of the New Kingdom - then the answer is that a tomb was prepared for him in the Valley of the Kings (KV 4), but apparently it was never completed nor was it actually used by Ramses XI.\nIt is believed that he chose instead to be buried away from Thebes, probably somewhere in Northern Egypt (his actual burial has yet to be found) due to the political instability in Egypt, the rising power of the priesthood in Thebes,  and the frequent robbery of royal tombs in the Valley of the Kings during his reign as well as the reigns of other kings.\n\nBy this point in Egyptian history, Egyptian kings had ceased to build pyramids for themselves and pyramids instead became part of the burial tradition for non-royal persons.  The exception is the construction of royal pyramids in Nubia by the Napatan and Meroitic kings and queens of the 1st millenium BC, some of whom also ruled over Egypt during the 25th Dynasty.

Probably Thebes.  Depends on which Kingdom (Old, Middle, New) you want, which millenium BC you want.  Dig into the Ancient Egypt article in Wikipedia.

Yes, definitely. You must do research about the the "dying & resurrecting" god. Long before Jesus, there were traditions all over the world of a god who died and was resurrected! Mithras is one of the most famous. Jesus is just the latest in a long line of gods/kings who sacrificed their lives for the land/people. Do a search on GOOGLE for: Osiris, Adonis, Tamuz/Tamuzi, Mithra, Iao, Hesus, Quexalcote, Quirinus, Prometheus, Thulis, Indra, Alcestos, Atys, Crite, and Bali. You can participate in the mass as a ceremony of worshipping the most recent "Dying and Resurrecting" God. And, of course, Mother Mary is the Mother Goddess. The mass is still a very potent spiritual ceremony if you understand how Jesus connects with so many other gods in the past!

Born into the Akkaba clan in Egypt around 5,000 years ago, an ugly and malformed gray-skinned mutant child was abandoned as an infant and left to die in the desert. The baby was found by a band of desert nomads, the Sandstormers, whose leader, Baal of the Crimson Sands, recognized the potential power in the boy. He named him En Sabah Nur, meaning "The First One," and raised him as his own son. The Sandstormers enforced in him the notion that "the strong will survive" - an idea that would shape Apocalypse's actions throughout time. On the day of Nur's rite of passage, Baal was severely wounded in a cave-in caused by the Warlord Ozymandias, who had come to take the extraordinary youth to his master, the Pharaoh Rama-Tut, a time-traveler from the distant future who had once betrayed the Sandstormers and knew of Nur's destiny as Apocalypse. Baal died, but not before revealing to Nur that he believed him to be a savior foretold in ancient prophecies, who was destined to overthrow Rama-Tut. Nur managed to avoid capture and swore revenge. Disguised as one of the Pharaoh's slave workers, Nur was exposed and thrown off a pyramid by Ozymandias. Nur survived, having a vision of the goddess Isis which triggered the full manifestation of his superhuman powers. He was brought before the Pharaoh, who, in exchange for his loyalty, offered to make Nur his heir. Nur refused, and soon after Rama-Tut was defeated by time-traveling heroes from the 20th century. Claiming the name Apocalypse, Nur used Rama-Tut's advanced technology to enslave Ozymandias and transform him into a being of living stone. \n\nApocalypse became a dreaded conqueror, and in the middle of the 12th century his path led him to China. Investigating legends of a "magician", he ascended a mountain and found the External named Garbha-Hsien, later Saul, sitting watch over a starship of the advanced alien Celestials that had crashed on the mountain ages ago. Thinking him foolish for not having accessed the ship, Apocalypse subdued Hsien and ventured inside. Apocalypse stayed in the ship for decades, learning the secrets of Celestial technology and devising a suit of bio-armor that allowed his body to become extremely malleable. He began to use the Celestials' machines to "hibernate" for long periods of time, becoming more powerful upon each awakening. Apocalypse also started to test the fitness of those who crossed his path, "culling the weak from the strong," and rewarding the survivors by making them stronger. Among them was Bennett du Paris, a knight of the Third Crusade, whom Apocalypse renamed Exodus, intending for him to be a servant. When Exodus rebelled, Apocalypse locked him away in a hidden tomb, where he remained for centuries. In 1859, Apocalypse awoke in London, where the scientist Nathaniel Essex made him aware of his true genetic heritage. Coercing Essex and members of the Hellfire Club into working as his agents, Apocalypse plotted the first steps in his quest for global conflict on an unprecedented scale. Those plans were foiled by the mutant heroes Cyclops and Phoenix, who had been sent back through time by the Clan Askani, a sisterhood dedicated to opposing Apocalypse who hailed from the distant future of Earth-4935. Nonetheless, Apocalypse succeeded in transforming Essex into the creature Mister Sinister before being defeated and forced back into hibernation. When Apocalypse awoke anew at the turn of the century, however, Mister Sinister betrayed him by infecting him with a techno-organic virus. Weakened, Apocalypse returned to hibernation once more. \n\n\nApocalypse awoke prematurely when the time-traveling mutant soldier Cable first arrived in the early 21st century, intending to oppose Apocalypse and prevent his future domination. Seeking to enslave a mutant with power-boosting abilities, Apocalypse briefly employed the super-powered criminal group the Alliance of Evil, but lost their se

I'm not entirely sure to what it is you're referring.  Most Egyptian pyramids are built of stone blocks or slabs - roughly dressed on the interior and smoothed on the exterior.  Typically the stone is limestone for the exterior, with the occasional use of granite on lower courses.  Interior chambers in the pyramid itself or subterranean chambers were frequently lined with a different type of stone - granite was a popular choice.\n\nThe peaks of the larger (ie. royal) pyramids are now large flat spaces now that stone has been robbed out and the pyramidia (capstones) have been removed.  The capstones, from what we know from contemporary inscriptions and a few examples that have actually been found were essentially little pyramids in miniature, each face was inscribed with the name of the pyramid  - each royal pyramid was named, usually a name including the nomen and/or prenomen of the king for whom it was built.  Additional inscriptions usually concerned the sun god and/or were specific to the cardinal direction that face of the pyramid faced.\n\nIt is extraordinarily unlikely that Egyptian pyramids serve as radio receivers and even more unlikely that they were designed to do so.  They were tombs.

OK, you discovered that did you? The next step is for you to notice that the pyramids along the Nile are laid out to mimic the shape of the constellation Orion. I'll wait, go Google that to check. \n\nWhen you are convinced of that, then you must have two more bits of information. Your brain ready for this? \n\nLife on the Nile depended upon the annual flooding to bring life-giving water to the fields. No flooding, not much crops, starvation. Remember Pharaoh's dreams about the fat cows and the lean cows? Right. \n\nPriests need to be able to predict things for their people. It gives people reasons to support their priests. There really are not much as what you can call seasons so near the equator. One thing did show when the flood SHOULD be coming (in otherwords, when it would be raining down south in the mountains of the headwaters of the Nile) and that was when the constellation of Orion, or more properly, the brightest star in the sky (besides the sun) Sirius would rise just a few moments before the sun - the helical rising of Sirius.\n\nThere is a shaft, often called an "air shaft" that goes down the Great Pyramid at Giza, very strictly aligned. When astronomers were able to do computer modeling to take into consideration the procession of the equinoxes and the apparent wobble of the earth on its axis, they were astonished to find out that this air shaft aligned to when Sirius would rise with the Sun. \n\nSirius, as you probably have seen used as the logo for Sirius satellite radio, is called "The Dog Star." \n\nHow does that all go together? And why am I telling you this? One more thing and I will let you go look some more.\n\nLook up the Dogon people of Africa. Remember now that Egypt is on the African continent. They have a story of how they got here (earth). They claim they got here on ships with Gods from another place. That place is Sirius. The gods, they say, had fish tails - looks a lot like the great God Dagon over in the Middle East, Philistines worshipped Him - and at least one of the gods died on the journey. \n\nBut god and dog are English words. None of this is real. This is all just fancy word-play made up to confuse you. Nobody believes this. This is not a story my people tell; this is just something I tell you who read this right now. \n\nDrab as a fool, aloof as a bard!

General History of Pyramids in Egypt and Nubia:\n\nThe pyramid is thought to have developed out of the mastaba tomb. Mastaba is an Arabic word, meaning bench, which was applied to the flat-topped, slope sided superstructures of tombs. The pyramid is also thought to be associated with solar worship and the "ben-ben" stone which played a major role in sun worship and was vaguely pyramid shaped.\n\nIn the 3rd Dynasty, several mastabas were stacked forming the Step Pyramid of King Djoser. By the 4th Dynasty in the reign of Snefru attempts at building a true pyramid were underway. The pyramids of the 4th and 5th Dynasties, including those at Giza, essentially reflect the further refinement of the pyramid, the chambers within it, and the associated temple complexes. Eventually the standard style was an orientation of east to west (significant in Egyptian religion), with a pyramid temple, located directly on the east side of the pyramid, and a causeway leading to the "valley temple" located near the Nile at the edge of the cultivation.\nWhile it is accepted by reputable Egyptologists that pyramids served as burials for kings, the exact details of the theology behind them remains unclear. One idea, popularized I believe by Dr. Mark Lehner, one of the foremost experts on Egyptian pyramids, is that pyramids served as "resurrection machines" providing all the necessary means for eternal life with the gods for the dead king.\nIn the late 5th Dynasty in the Pyramid of Unas at Saqqara, we have the first appearance of formal texts within the pyramid itself - the appropriately-named Pyramid Texts. These texts are somewhat esoteric and are essentially a collection of spells, stories, and guides relating to the Underworld. Initially these texts were limited to royalty. In succeeding pyramids, elements of the Pyramid Texts were included in the "Coffin Texts" of the First Intermediate and Middle Kingdom and in the "Book of the Dead" of the New Kingdom - texts available to a broad spectrum of society.\n\nPyramid construction continued in the Middle Kingdom - again limited to royalty, but not on the grand scale of the Old Kingdom. The last known royal pyramids located in Egypt are that of King Ahmose, founder of the 18th Dynasty of the New Kingdom (ca. 1550 BCE) and the pyramid-cenotaph constructed for his grandmother, Queen Tetisheri. Both are located at Abydos.\n\nIn the New Kingdom, pyramids came to be part of tombs for reasonably wealthy private individuals - frequently added to the exterior portico area of rock-cut cliff tombs or appearing as architectural elements of brick constructed tombs in varous parts of Egypt.\n\nThe Napatan and Meroitic kingdoms in Nubia (modern Sudan) also used the pyramid for royal burials at sites such as El-Kurru and Nuri. While the Napatan kings ruled Egypt for a time during the 25th Dynasty and were buried in pyramids, those pyramids were located in Nubia proper.\nPyramid Construction:\n\nPyramid construction relied on highly skilled teams of workmen who were housed nearby the pyramid fields - in the Old Kingdom located in the general vicinity of the ancient capital Memphis at sites now knows as Giza, Saqqara, Meidum, and Dashur. A few pyramids in the Middle Kingdom were located near the Fayum, roughly Middle Egypt.\nIn addition to the full-time workmen, there was likely a seasonal labor requirement asked of the lower classes of Egyptian society - a sort of taxation, often referred to by the French term "corvee" labor. This is distinct from slavery. While the ancient Greek historian Herodotus (writing over a thousand years after the construction of the pyramids at Giza) reported that he was told the pyramids at Giza were constructed by slaves, Herodotus was wrong about any number of things in his reports and may not even have visited Egypt in person, so he is usually not taken as a realiable source.\n\nThe book by Mark Lehner mentioned below contains an

It is also the date of birth for Mithras. Thats why early Christians hijacked it as the birthdate of their own false God - to make the religious festivals more attractive to the heathens living around them.... \n\nMithras was also born of a virgin, died and was buried in a rock tomb, and was ressurected after three days. Sound like anyone familiar?

It's called a pantheon.  There's an old one in Rome.

I have just ploughed my way through that lot, was it a question? I don't think so!\nWhatever it was (unless you are an incest freak)!it was almost as boring as reading quotes from the so called Holy books, are there no good cartoons on the tv you could be watching.\nI'll bet you are right into the Egyptian Pharaohs marriages and sexual background.\nI still haven't worked out what the question is, and I'm almost falling asleep trying to work it out, so OK I give up, and I really don't want to know!

No disrespect but I have never heard anyone think that the pharaoh Anknaten was Moses.I major in ancient history.,and I study Archeology. The only evidence there is about Moses does not call him by name.There are hieroglyphics on the walls in Egypt the depict a vast number of people leaving Egypt and show writings of some of the miracles.They are saying that it might have been Anknatens father who was the Exodus pharaoh and not Ramses the second. They are thinking that is why Anknaten believed in one god, the Aten.I will tell you this, a lot of archaeologists take a bible with them on some of their digs as a historical map of sorts. So in a sense, the bible is historical proof in a way.The site that guy gave you 2 answers before me is false. It is looking at things from a different point of view. I study American and well documented History and archeology.

There are no more famous ancient sites within Egypt, or for that matter elsewhere in the world, than the Great Pyramids at Giza. They are, without question, the icon most associated with the Egypt. They have been both the main destination for tourists, and a source of imaginative thought to the world for over three thousand years.\n\nHowever, there are actually over 100 pyramids in Egypt, many of which are relatively unknown to anyone who is not an ancient Egypt enthusiast. All but a very few are grouped around and near the City of Cairo, just south of the Nile Delta. Otherwise, only one royal pyramid is known in southern Egypt (at Abydos), that being the one built by Ahmose, founder of the 18th Dynasty and Egypt's New Kingdom. It may have also been the last royal pyramid built in Egypt.\n\nHence, major pyramids were not built throughout Egypt's ancient history. The Pyramid Age began with a burst of building, starting with the 3rd Dynasty reign of Djoser. Some of the early kings, most specifically Snefru, built more than one pyramid. Almost all of the kings added to their number through the end of the Middle Kingdom, with the possible exception of the First Intermediate Period between the Old and Middle Kingdoms. After the first Pharaoh of Egypt's New Kingdom, Ahmose, royal pyramid building by Egyptians ceased entirely. Somewhat abruptly the kings of the New Kingdom chose, rather than making their tombs completely obvious, to hide them in the hills of the West Bank of Thebes (modern Luxor).\n\nHowever, smaller pyramids were constructed, for example in the Deir el-Medina necropolis, by private individuals. The Late Period Nubians who ruled Egypt also built relatively small pyramids with much steeper sides, though these were in fact constructed in Nubia itself. This tradition was carried on in Nubia after these southern rulers lost control of Egypt, and eventually, more pyramids were actually built in Nubia than Egypt, though on a much smaller scale.\n\nOther pyramids in the world certainly exist, but their purpose, for the most part, was different than those of ancient Egypt. The most famous outside Egypt are probably those located in Mexico and to the south of Mexico, but these appear to have been built more as temples. In Egypt, all but a select few of the pyramids were built as tombs, sometimes to hold the physical body of a pharaoh (as well as other individuals), or to hold the soul of the deceased (as in the case of the small cult pyramids built next to the larger ones). Otherwise, the purpose of only a few small, regional stepped pyramids remains elusive.\n\nWhile pyramids were, for the most part, tombs for the Pharaohs of Egypt, one must nevertheless question the reason that Egyptian rulers chose this particular shape, and for that matter, why they built them so large. Today, we believe that they chose the shape in order to mimic the Benben, a pyramid shaped stone found in the earliest of temples, which itself is thought to symbolize the primeval mound from which the Egyptians believed life emerged. This also connected the pyramid to Re, the Sun God, as it was he, according to some of the ancient Egypt mythology, who rose from the primeval mound to create life.\n\nAs far the great size of many of the pyramids in Egypt, we can really only surmise that the Pharaohs were making a statement about their own power and perhaps, about the glory and strength of their country. However, it should also be remembered that many of the latter pyramids were not nearly as large as the Great Pyramids at Giza (and elsewhere).\n\nPyramids evolved. The first of them was not a perfectly formed pyramid. In fact, the first Pyramid we believe that was built in Egypt, that of Djoser, was not a true pyramid at all with smooth sides and a point at the top. Rather, its sides were stepped, and the top of the pyramid truncated with a flat surface (as best we know). As the Egyptian pyramids evolved, there were failures as well glorious fail

Ask Samson. He had a different take on that theory after Delilah was done with him.
