159: Everytime Ay Died

A tale in two parts. The elderly pharaoh, Kheper-kheperu-Ra Ay, probably died in his fourth or fifth year of power (c. 1331 / 1330 BCE). Officially, his reign was short. But in the big picture, Ay's influence lasted decades. As a courtier, under Akhenaten and Tutankhamun, Ay participated in government and royal affairs for many years. This means we have abundant records for the man and his career, and Ay contributed to Egyptian history in some noteworthy ways. Chapter 1: The Death and Legacy of King Ay. Chapter 2: The Erasure of Ay and his memory. To see high-quality photos of Ay’s tomb (WV23) by Kairoinfo4u on Flickr.com and Curtis Ryan Woodside on YouTube. Date: c.1331 / 1330 BCE.
