In a case like that a pharaoh would destroy that cult’s temples and kill or banish the priests. Through out Egypt’s history people in authority have also influenced the pharaoh. Pharaohs have been manipulated by priests, viziers, or even the queen into decisions that favor them. But regardless of who influenced the pharaohs, ancient Egypt greatly benefited from having strong rulers to guide the
Another crucial point is that as previously explained; Tutankhamun and his advisors were the ones to bury Nefertiti according to Akhenaten’s wishes, before relocating the capital back to Thebes. This makes it a more then likely possibility that when it came time to bury the boy king, Tutankhamun’s advisors decided to raid Nefertiti’s lavish tomb to provide an adequate tomb and burial for Tutankhamun. They would have seen this as an acceptable thing to do because of Nefertiti’s role in Akhenaten’s religious reforms and her possible improvisation by trying to rule Egypt as a “man”.

Something for Nothing Counterfeiting is one of the oldest crimes and has affected most parts of the world at sometime or another. The United States was affected most during the nineteenth century, and to be more specific around the Civil War. In fact, over one third of the United States money was counterfeit during the Civil War. Banks were making their own currencies, and all of them had different designs. This made it very hard to distinguish whether or not the money was counterfeited.
