Oh, the stupid is strong with this one.
Reading comprehension is important, people. The challenge was to give me one EXTERNAL Egyptian source that can corroborate the existence of King Tut. Do you two know what "external" means? That means corroborating sources OUTSIDE of Egypt, not WITHIN Egypt.
Though it's a silly argument I will respond.
To my knowledge there are no external references to Tutankamun's existence. But that's really no surprise considering the timeframe of 1334 BCE. There may be references that we have not found yet.
The point is moot, however, since we have the tomb, the Mummy, and the treasures thereof, and well recorded, though damaged, records from much of Egypt and the lands they ruled at the time.
Not so the Jesus myth, which comes from 1300 years later.
- No body
- No tomb
- No records outside one particular book - which are contradictory (and in a time when we have some very complete records)
- Only "records" written well after the time of the "events"
