TUT'S WIDOW IN
ROYAL ROMANCE
Sought to Wed Son of King of
Hittites While Pharaoh's Body
Was Not Yet CoW.
Luxor, Egypt. ? Ail ancient Hittlte
document, recently unearthed in Ana
tolia. discloses an amazing royal ro
mance in which Queen Ankh-s-Amen,
contort of Pharaoh Tut-Ankh-Amen,
was one of the principals. It also ap
pears that the queen was banished by
Tut-Ankh-Amen's successor, Pharaoh
Ay.
This remarkable document has been
translated by Prof. Archibald H. Bayce,
one of the leading Babylonian and
. Egyptian scholars of Great Britain. It
reveals the extraordinary fact that*
while King Tut-Ankh-Amen's body was
still upon its bier, awaiting burial, his
twenty-seven-year-old wife dispatched
an ambassador to the king of the Hit
tites, who was then besieging the an
cient city of Oarchemish, between
Mosul and Damascus, to induce the
king to give her one of his sons in
marriage. /.
Meesage of Queen.
"My husband Is dead," said the
Egyptian queen to the Hittlte ruler
through her ambassador. -I have no
children. Your sons are said to be
grown up. If you will give me one of
them, and, If he will be my husband,
he win be a great helpmate."
The king of the Hittites apparently
doubted the motives and good faith of
the Egyptian queen. He replied to her
overtures : - J
"The son of your lord (flhe king)
where is he? Have you deceived me?
The general of the army (Horemheb)
has not nominated my son to the king
ship"
The queen thereupon rejoined :
"What is this you say? I have fle
ceived you? If I had a eon and my
people had a ruler I would not havs
sought the hand of a man from an
other country. No one has had chil
dren by me. I have no son. Give me
one of your sons as my husband, and
he will be king of the land of Egypt."
The document shows that the royal
romance was almost completed by the
Hittlte king's giving the fair suitor
one of his sons; but just as the mar
riage was about to be celebrated King
A j seized the throne of Egypt and the
hapless queen was banished.
Ow?d Kingship to Queen.
History and archaeology fail *> tell
the fate of Queen Ankh-s-Axnen. She
seems to have entirely disappeared
from riew after King Ay usurped the
throne. It la known only that she waj
the real Inheritor of the throne and
that Tut-Ankh-Amen owed his king
ship entirely to her rights of royal
succession. It is presumed that Ay'i
motive In banishing her was to pre
vent a foreigner from ruling over
Egypt, especially a hated Hittite.
American archaeologists, who gave
the text of this amazing document to
the Associated Press correspondent,
regard the foregoing circumstances ai
one of the most dramatic revel ationi
in present-day knowledge of Egyptian
history. The Hittite narrative, thej
say, makes It clear that Tut-Ankh
Amen did not have progeny to continue
his flourishing reign. It also makes It
extremely unlikely, they add, that the
body of Queen Ankh-scAmen will be
found in the royal necropolis.
Denies Buying Sermons;
Is Suing for Damages
Manstield Centre, Conn. ? This vil
lage of 350 souls is stirred over thi
slander suit Rev. Harold W. Tfllinj
hast has brought against Deacon Arch
ibald W. Buchanan, Sr., of the Mans*
fled Centre Congregational church. Rev.
Mr. Tillinghast is the former pastor!
of the church. Deacon Buchanan ii
superintendent of the Sunday school
and teacher of the Bible class.
Pastor Tillinghast says Deacon Bu-j
chanan told the Bible class the pastor
was in the habit of buying the sermons
he delivered Sundays. Consequently,
he claims, his reputation as a preach
er has been damaged and has fllsd suit
against the deacon for $10,000.
Reverend Tillinghast states the ser
mons were written exclusively by him-j
self.
When, as he alleges, the deacon ex-j
pressed the view that they had not
originated in Mr. Tilllnghast's study
the ensuing mental anguish on the part
of the pastor was so great as to cause
Mr. Tillinghast to resign two months !
*go.
The other day he caused the dea
con's automobile to be attached, but a
member of the deacon's household said
Mr. Buchanan had got the automobile
back.
