The Silver Pharoah Mystery

Uncovered intact by Pierre Montet in 1940,the pharaoh's mummy was encased in an extraordinary silver casket, unique in the history of Ancient Egypt. This casket was the one from the pharaoh Psusennes I, Psusennes I was the third king of the Twenty-first dynasty of Egypt who ruled from Tanis between 1047 – 1001 BC. Psusennes is the Greek version of his original name Pasebakhaenniut which means "The Star Appearing in the City" while his throne name, Akheperre Setepenamun, translates as "Great are the Manifestations of Ra, chosen of Amun." This discover was interrupted due the World War II and the approaching to Egypt from the Nazis, 5 years later they continued with the examination, till now nobody knows exactly WHY he choose silver (Due that every other pharaoh has a gold casket). This casket was harder to produce due that the silver is less moldable than the gold, it was recently discovered that Psusennes I had a bone disease, still,  his kingdom lasted over 46 years (when the life time in that time was about 35 years) He also moved the capital from the kingdom to another city. This events and the actions he made, make him one of the greatest pharaohs of the ancient egypt.

Personally I think Psusennes I was one of the greatest pharaohs (just behind Ramesses II and Tutankhamun) I still can't belive he actually moved the capital to another city and made a lot of strategical movements to get the throne as pharaoh and higher priest. Possibly he wanted to be inmortal, and looking back, he got what he wanted most.
