Did the Egyptians allow physicians to dissect the body?
yes i went on an ancient egypt website and it said so. But that wasent enough infomation for me so i went on a diffrent website but the answer was the same. But i still went to a muesium to check and the answer was the same.
to understand how Egypt got its current name , u should know the historical background , when Egypt was part of the Ottoman Empire , it was just Egypt , a region from the Empire , then under the British occupation it was "the united Arab kingdom" , united b/c it was Egypt and Sudan , and Arab b/c it is an Arabic speaking country
Then , came the 23rd of July revolution , and Egypt became a Republic , named the United Arab Republic , still united b/c it was Egypt and Sudan , then Sudan decided to split and so Egypt became just The Arab Republic of Egypt...

It was found in the valley of the kings in tomb KV55. The mummy was positively identified as Akhenaten's by genetic matches with his fathers mummy Amenhotep III and his son's Tutankhamun.

How did Aliens build the pyramids?
Since no one else has been willing to touch this question, I may as well.
To begin with, we have to start with a couple rather HUGE suppositions:
- Aliens exist (we have no evidence)
- Aliens have come to earth (only anecdotal evidence)
- Aliens enjoy atypical architecture (sure, why not)
- Aliens did in fact build the pyramids
Once we accept those suppositions, its a trivial matter of making a few more: The aliens that came to earth had either anti gravity beams (or tractor beams) or were telekinetic and threw them together in an afternoon at which point, people came in and decorated.
PERSONALLY,
I think the more interesting question is how did PEOPLE build the pyramids. There's been a pervasive argument that people could not have constructed something so mathematically precise, moved such large stones cut from a quarry miles away and then pushed them into position. And, at face value, I couldn't do it either, so the logic makes a bit of sense.
However, we now know from written records that the Nile river was actually diverted to create streams which allowed the rocks to be boated up the quarry rather easily from the quarry in which they were cut for at least the great pyramid at Cheops's. Its not unreasonable to assume they did it for the others as well.
We also know that given a long enough lever, a single person could feasibly move a 2-3 ton stone into position. Given a little bit of time, a few extra people (like the couple thousand who are recorded as having worked on the pyramids) and shorter levers, its quite feasible that the stones could have been pushed into position fairly effectively with VERY primitive equipment.
We also now know that Egyptians actually had forms of calculus, extremely complex mathematics, and were able to do very difficult calculations without a mechanical device. Granted, we only have bits and pieces of what remains of cuneiform tablets and a few papyrus reeds, but the essentials are there.
Finally, based off empirical studies and computer models, we have now proven that the rather large army that the egyptians had on hand could have indeed built the pyramids in a couple decades, possibly faster.
Now don't get me wrong. I understand the appeal of aliens. I understand why we like to imagine that they had some sort of role in our past, and its true, there are records which may indicate that aliens HAVE visited earth.
But I think its insulting to us a species, and to the builders themselves, to write it off as impossible. Time and again the human race has proven its capacity to do remarkable things. This one just took a bit more planning. :P

Of course they did! They used to eat tons of meat and stuff that would have killed them raw.
When was aker the god of egypt?
Aker is an earth god who also presided over the western and eastern boarders of the Underworld, the guardian of a gate. In the later period of Egyptian theology the two lions making up the Akeru were named Sef and Tuau - 'yesterday' and 'today' respectively. He is both a earth and horizon deity. Aker often became referred to as Ruti, the Egyptian word meaning two lions.
He is a very ancient and primeval concept still seen today.

How did the egyptians raise the stones onto the piramid?
Muscle power and simple mechanics, they used simple levers to lift the stones short distances such as manoeuvring it into place or lifting it on or off a sledge. To get it to the working level they built a ramp (inclined plane) up which the sledge was dragged by a gang of slaves. To ease the passage of the sledge water or oil was poured under the blades.
