El Amarna Aye and Tey After the death of Tuthankamun, the rule passed to Aye who was the husband of Tey, half-sister of Nefertiti and the Levite caregiver nurse of Akhenaton. Aye was the last of the Amarna kings. He was also the father of Smenkhkare, Pharaoh after Akhenaton, who was also known as Aaron. Tey was called in the Bible Jochebed, she was the natural mother of Aaron. Her husband was called Amram. Horemheb Son-in-Law of Aye, he was a general and succeeded Aye, and put an end to the worship of Aten. He for- bade the mention of the name of Akhenaton and removed the names of the kings of the eighteenth dynasty from the official king lists. He also destroyed many of the monuments of the era. (See p. 190) “Having been away for many years, Moses (Akhenaton) evidently asked Jehovah how he could prove his identity to the Israelites... Moses was advised to perform three magical feats. (p. 191) These acts are always called Miracles. The miracles performed were actually well-known Egyptian rit- uals, connected to the rising of the dead god. Moses proves that he is not conversant with the Hebrew language. Aaron is sent as the interpreter. (See p. 192) Aaron It is Aaron not Moses who actually performs the miracles in front of the Pharaoh. This suggests that this Aaron was himself a Pharaoh. So did Akhenaton (Moses) have a brother who was himself a pharaoh...whose fate is unknown and who is similarly recorded as having disappeared rather than dying? Indeed he did, at least, he had a feeding brother, whose own mother was Tey, the Israelite wet-nurse of Akhenaton and Nefertiti. As a pharaoh, this man had succeeded for just a few weeks after the abdication of Akhenaton; his name was Smenkh- kare. He was the grandson of Yusuf-Yuya the vizier, and the son of Aye (the brother of Akhenaton’s birth-mother, Tiye). Correctly stated, this pharaoh’s name was Smenkh-ka-ra...Alternately, since Ra was the state Sun god of the Heliopolis House of Light, called On, Pharaoh Smenkh-ka-ra was also Smenkh-ka-ra-on, from the phonetic ending of which derives “Aaron.” (p. 192) 224 Appendix B: Book Abstracts Before the banishment, Moses had left Thebes to set up his city at Tel El Amarna.
