Bharatiyas in Egypt? (Part 2)
Misra notes how the name ‘Amun’ is reminiscent of ‘Yamuna’, the river connected with Krishna. Amun was the principal deity in Kushite (Kush/ Kash) Ethiopia, whose cult, according to him, was introduced in Egypt by the pharaohs of the 18th dynasty (New kingdom). He also refers to the possible traces of Vedic temple architecture and the ‘Vastu Shastra’ in the architectural achievements of the 18th dynasty pharaohs.
He writes: “…a team of British and Egyptian conservators under the aegis of the British Museum, working on the tomb of Elkab's 17th dynasty (c.1600-1550 BC) governor Sobeknakht. They “stumbled upon an inscription believed to be the first evidence of a huge attack from the south on Elkab and Egypt by the Kingdom of Kush and its allies from the land of Punt, during the 17th dynasty”[xxiv]. This is during the same time that the pharaohs Kamose and Ahmose were in exile in Kush, preparing to launch an attack on the Hyskos. If Punt is India, then the “allies from the land of Punt” must be a reference to the Kussites who had migrated to Kush around this time from the banks of the Indus, as discussed earlier.”[2] The pharaohs of the 18th dynasty had strong matrimonial connections with the Kushites, and Kushite priests were influential at Karnak.
“The Egyptian Pharaohs called themselves Ramesses of the solar dynasty [19th & 20th dynasty; New kingdom]. It seems to be a derivative of the name Rama & the Surya-vamsa dynasty.” [3]............
