Tenes
[edit]Is anyone aware of the supposed connection with Tenes? The German version of this article seems to believe that is a fact, but I can't see it in English sources. Oncenawhile (talk) 11:11, 5 August 2014 (UTC)
The German Wikipedia makes no connection with the mythological Tenes, it simply uses Greek names for kings of Sidon. Sidon was an important trading partner of Athens and kings from Sidon are mentioned in multiple Greek historical sources. 85.127.25.104 (talk) 18:23, 14 August 2014 (UTC)
Egyptian?
[edit]The sarcohpagus looks remarkably Egyptian, and the hieroglyphic inscription further suggests that it was brought from Egypt. Is there any story to that? --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 19:53, 14 August 2014 (UTC)
- Yes - it explains in the last sentence of the lead. Oncenawhile (talk) 20:09, 14 August 2014 (UTC)
