Minister Ay is one of the Pharaohs of the Egyptian Dynasty No. 18 in ancient Egyptian Pharaonic history.

Also, King Ay was a minister and he was also a pharaoh of Egypt, but your lying continued for a very short period of time in power, a period of four years. That period was most likely from the year 1324-1320, and that, of course, is BC.

Also, during the reign of King Tutankhamun, “he has Tomb of Tutankhamun | KV62 among the royal Egyptian tombs in the Valley of the Kings.” It is certain, of course, that Minister Ay was one of the most important key figures and then responsible for starting to restore the worship of the people to the worship of the ancient Egyptian gods “Egyptian deities” in the Egyptian Temples.

Which the ancient Egyptians were accustomed to, as in Ancient Egyptian religion, after the experiment of King Akhenaton that he carried out with monotheism, and that was at an earlier time in his rule, as he ordered the closure of all funerary Mortuary Temples in ancient Egypt..

In fact, it was rumored among the ancient Egyptians and among Egyptology and archeology that Kheperu with Ra Ai or the Vizier (Ai) could both be the son of Minister Yuya, who was at that time the father of Queen Tiye “has Tomb of Yuya and Thuya | KV46 in the royal tombs in the Valley of the Kings in Luxor”, she was the greatest wife and at the same time the favorite wife of King Amenhotep III, who was the pharaoh in the Eighteenth Dynasty..

However, most Egyptologists believe that King Ay was the vizier of King Tutankhamun, but at the same time, he may have been a pharaoh descended only from Queen Tiye..

What can confirm this suggestion is that Vizier Ai had inherited a very large portion of the titles of Queen Yuya’s father, and that was during the period of his life and residence in the court of King Pharaoh Amenhotep III..

King Ay had already assumed the reins of government in the country for a period, as he was the pharaoh of the entire country and he received the Coronation of the Pharaohs after the death of the young king, Tutankhamun..

  • But during the reign of Tutankhamun, there was a return again to the worship of the gods in the regions of Upper and Lower Egypt, as well as in the Geography of ancient Egypt, which was multiple under the influence of the vizier, i.e..
  • Also, in the year 1323 BC, meaning that this was under the rule of only the third year of the rule of the young king Tutankhamun, who was 11 years old at that time..
  • At the same time, under the influence of the minister at that time, Ra, the ban that was imposed on the worship of these multiple gods was completely lifted, and then the Egyptian capital at that time returned to Thebes..

 

King Ay assumed the position of vizier to Tutankhamun

  • Also, one of them was the vizier Ra-ai, and the other was the vizier and King Horemheb.
  • There is a lot of archaeological evidence that actually confirms that after the possible death of the ancient Pharaonic king Tutankhamun, he had received from the moment Minister Ay, who assumed the reins of government in the country, but for a very short period..

  • Rather, his death occurred as a result of an assassination and killing by the military commander Horemheb. He was the army commander in ancient Egypt “Military of ancient Egypt“, “He has the Tomb of Horemheb | KV57 in the Valley of the Kings, the Tomb of Horemheb in Saqqara, and The Speos Of Horemheb in Aswan,” or it was carried out by his personal minister, who was Ra..

 

The marriage of Minister Ra Ai to the widow of the young pharaoh Tutankhamun

  • In fact, a Pharaonic seal of Egyptian origins was found in the Pharaonic tombs bearing the name of the minister Ra Aye on it, and at the same time bearing the name of Queen Ankhesenamun, that young Pharaonic woman as well, who was the widow of the young Pharaonic king Tutankhamun..
  • He also found a letter from the Ancient Egyptian Papyrusthat had been sent by Queen Ankhesenamun, who was the widow of Pharaoh Tutankhamun the Younger, to the Hittites king. In that letter, she was asking him whether he would send one of his male sons for the purpose of marrying her, of course after The death of her husband.
  • Then, at the same time, the Hittite king sent one of his male sons to marry her, but something unexpected happened, which was that he died on his way before he could enter the land of Egypt..
