A new window has opened into the Amarna period and its principal royal figures, thanks to recent excavations in northwest Sinai, Egypt's eastern military frontier zone. Investigations at Tell el-Borg between 1999 and 2008, which Professor Hoffmeier directed and produced intriguing new evidence of a robust military presence at 18th dynasty fort at this site throughout the Amarna period and into the Ramesside dynasties. Included in the discoveries were two amphora jar handles with Tutankhamun's cartouche on them. They speak to ongoing military activity during Tutankhamun's decade-long reign. This lecture will review the new evidence and discuss the implications of these finds for our knowledge of the intriguing Amarna period.
