kim 7ut-ankh- Amen's Middle Name
Was Cooper, or "the Enduring Life'',
Through 5000 years the two
have been associated IN
minds Of men.

M HEN the two life.sized statues Of
w Tut-ankh.Amen, the boy Pharaoh
Of the 18th Egyptian Dynasty.
we're found recently by the Psychologists
under the leadership Of the Earl Of Car
narvan they pictured wildly to modem
eyes the connection, 5000 years old, be-
tween the ever elusive riddle OF the en-
during life and copper, the earliest metal
widely used by mankind.
The Egyptian mind. as indeed the hu-
man mind throughout the long history
OF man, was always persistently search.
ing for ways Of prolongins life. Copper.
which possessed this quality Of enduring
life, had been used IN the valley Of the
Nile since before the Dynastic days, or
over $500 years before the time Of Tut
ankh-Amen. Bronze was introduced in
the 18th Dynasty.
Copper made a strong appeal to the
imagination Of the people. both because
Of its usefulness and its endurance,
and because in early days it was
connected in thought with the -ankh'
which was the symbol 81 the enduring
life, throughout the thousands Of years
from Tut-ankh-Amen. who bore the
word as his middle name, to the al
chemists Of the 18th century A. D.
The "ankh" visualized to the Pharaoh
his hope Of second existence for which,
as seen from the equipment Of their
,ombs, he made ample provision looking
toward the time, 5000 years after his
death. when he believed he would take
Up a new life and have need for com.
forts and ornaments Of all kinds.
Much Of the copper used in Eeyp,
came irony the Island Of Cyprus. from
which it received its name 1t is signi-
hcant that the "ankh". still deno,ing
enduring life, was found in the person
Of the goddess Venus. who was said to
have sprung from the foam Of the sea
and to have been waited on the eresss
OF the waves to Cyprus. Her symbo!
was the ankh', the same symbol tina,
