This tomb painting is obviously New Kingdom. The kings of 1950 BC (Middle Kingdom, 12th Dynasty) were buried in pyramids which did not have wall murals. Would’ve been Amenemhet I or Senwosret I, both buried in pyramids at el-Lisht, 600 miles from Luxor.

The cartouche identifies the king as Ramesses I. Ramesses I was about 1290, not 1950.

good lord i posted that thang so long ago ... i can't remember how I stumbled into posting it (except that I'm a Go freak -- big big news last year, computers now win at grandmaster-level Go).
Thanks for all the corrections! Vleeptron doesn't get many top-level Egyptologists. Who are you, where are you, what are you?
