Description
Hey, my lovelies, how are you all doing?
Again, thank you so much for your lovely birthday wishes, guys, I am out of words! 
This is my way of thanking my amazing watchers for all the amazing support - I love you guys! Creating art for you is more than a pleasure, it's an honour. I so hope you guys will like my future stuff as well and keep walking with me on my little path to being a better artist. Your feedback means the world to me!A little something about the picture itself: I wanted to draw pictures about Ancient Egypt for the longest time now. Why? Well, it's simply a historic period that intrigues and fascinates me like hardly any other, I don't know why, but it's been like that ever since my early childhood. There's something about this culture that got me hooked - the buildings, the artwork, the outfits, the language, even the religion and customs. I'm an Egypt geek and I wanted to pay tribute to this culture that has been my closest friend for the longest time. Furthermore, I want it to be a gift to all of you guys, who inspire and keep me going as much as my love for this topic and as you've requested more original art from me, here it is! Meet pharao Tutankhamun, mysterious son of Achenaton and the legendary Nefertiti, whose face I put on the wall behind her son.
Little fun fact, but I've found it kind of suitable. Artwork and Concept © Maja Vallazza

Well, this's a really good quality comic work you've done, but not "funny comic" more "action comic" but *GOOD* action comic, if I may say so, and that's a relief to me, there's far too much bad comics out there.
Thank you for making this.

I love your style! very unique. but I wanted to point out that image behind tut is of Queen Nefertari, wife of Ramesses II. That image is from her tomb in Valley of the Queens, playing senet, 19th dynasty.
But I love your excitement of Ancient Egypt, and please make more pages^^

No problem! I always wanted to see an Amarna/ King Tut comic on here.
Ive been a fan of Egyptology since I was 8 years old. I also use to work in a museum that had a King Tut replica exhibit, for two years.
I love the Amarna era! The only recent thing I heard about the 18th dynasty is that there are new studies this year on Tut.
Your Welcome again, cant wait for another page.

Hihi, very cool, I like the Amarna period myself very much! 
Wow, that's so cool, then you've been a fan ever since your childhood too! 
Studies? That sounds great, I've been watching a LOT of documentaries about the topic lately, some about the Amarna dynasty in general, some about Achenaton, Nefertiti and Tut in specific. Do you know anything about the studies' topic and how they'll be released?

Im glad too. Its hard to find other friends who fascinated by Egypt too.
Im sorry to hear that. Where do you live?
Here is the August 2013 study on King Tut: video.pbs.org/video/2365043134…
The study could explain why Tut's mummy looks burnt compared to other 18th dynasty mummies. Im not really convinced on the death mask theory, but that's Egyptology for you, there's so many different opinions, beliefs, and theories. I remember when everyone said Kiya (Akhenaten's mionr wife) was Tut's mother. Then in 2010, the KV35 younger lady mummy, happens to be the sister of Akhenaten and mother of Tut through DNA analysis. I mean theories change and some can be proven. I need more evidence on the Death mask theory in this video.
Most of all, Tut is slowly giving us his secrets about his past...you know since 1922, we cannot 100% say or claim that we know the life of the boy king. It takes time. But Please continue to research the topics that interest you, I try to find every documentary on Ancient Egypt that mentions Tut or Amarna era (even if its an old video or a newer study) you can still learn something new that wasn't mentioned before in books, or other documentaries.

Hey dear, I'm so, so sorry for the late reply, I've written you an answer before, but I guess DA didn't send it, so hopefully it works this time! 
Wow, thank you so much for the link, dear, I'm absolutely thrilled to see it!
Indeed he does!

Yes I didn't get your reply.
Yes I try to be updated with this stuff. The thing about Joann Fletcher, after that documentary of KV35 younger lady, she is now dedicated in other documentaries on world mummies instead of Egyptian mummies. If you could recall from that Nefertiti documentary, Joann is a specialist in ancient hair styles. I actually seen her on a NOVA documentary (January 2014) on Bog Mummies where she discusses about hair styles on them, even though she was banned out of Egypt by Hawass, she still continues her specialty on other mummies. Today to answer questions on unidentified mummies, you do need DNA and CT Scans. If I was an Egyptologist I wouldn't just say without a doubt without DNA.
There are a lot of interesting documentaries I love to share or recommend either on ancient Egypt in general. Hatshepsut had a special on Discovery called Egypts Lost Queen. That one is 2 hours because there are 2 parts. Another amazing one is about a skeleton that was discovered to believed to be Queen Cleopatra's younger sister, Arsinoe IV, its called: Cleopatra: Portrait of A Killer, that's one is surely on youtube. I do recommend a mysterious documentary, Egypt Unwrapped: Mystery of the Screaming Man, about an unknown mummy who was buried with his mouth open, a lot of people have 3 different ideas how it happen, 1 might have to be placed around Tuts death.
I also recommend any documentary on the Valley of the Kings, those documentaries always run into a clip about Tut or KV35 mummies. To be honest, If you watch documentaries about Hatshepsut, Thutmosis III, Amenhotep III, then watched Amarna era, and move to Ramesses II , you notice what the artwork use to look like pre-amarna era, then after the amarna era, the detail women's wardrobe is still like amarna's artwork. Even though by ramesses time, they banned atenism, they still had the artwork style.
