Question
An epigram states that a statue of a real-life ruler who was partially named for this deity “received the spouse in silence so that the fair Sabina might come back again.” The foreign princess Tadukhipa was sent to marry a ruler named for this deity, who reciprocated with wooden statues instead of gold. A “singing” statue known as the Colossus of Memnon depicts a ruler named for this deity. A body known as the “Elder Lady” in the tomb of a ruler named for this deity belonged to his Great Royal Wife, Tiye (“TEE-yay”). This deity provides the [emphasize] original name of an Eighteenth Dynasty pharaoh who later changed it, moved his capital to Amarna, and venerated the god Aten. For 10 points, Tutankhaten changed his name to refer to what Egyptian god fused with Ra at his precinct in Karnak? ■END■
ANSWER: Amun [or Ammon or Amana or Amen or jmn or Hammon; accept Amun-Re or Amun-Ra; accept Amenhotep or Amenophis; accept Tutankhamun; prompt on Memnon until read by asking “what deity provided the name of the real-life ruler depicted?”; reject “Aten”; reject “Ra”] (The first line refers to an epigram by Julia Balbilla about one of the Colossi of Memnon, which depict Amenhotep III; Sabina is Vibia Sabina, Hadrian’s wife.)
