AY
Ay
Ay was the penultimate
Pharaoh of
Ancient Egypt's
18th dynasty. He held the throne of Egypt for a brief four-year period (probably
1324 –
1320 BC or
1327 –
1323 BC, depending on which chronology is followed), although he was a close advisor to two and perhaps three of the pharaohs who ruled before him and was the power behind the throne during
Tutankhamun's reign. Ay's prenomen or royal name—Kheperkheperure—means "Everlasting are the Manifestations of Re" while his birth name Ay it-hetjer reads as 'Ay, Father of the God.' During the reign of Tutankhamun he almost certainly was one of the major figures responsible for returning the country to the worship of the late Egyptian
pantheon of deities after the experiment with
monotheism under
Akhenaten that abandoned the earlier tradition. Records and monuments that can be attributed fully to Ay are rare, not just because of the short length of his reign, but because his successor,
Horemheb, instigated a campaign of
damnatio memoriae against him and other pharaohs directly associated with the
Amarna period. Some scholars believe that he may have been responsible for Tutankhamun's demise.
