The Ankh Mirror and Cryptography

The spelling of tut's name: Tut + Ankh + (God)Amon/Aton.
or "Living Image of the God."

The Ankh also means "Mirror" as when applied to the word "Image" (Tut) it means:
"Reflection."

The evidence for this comes from the golden mirror case found in his tomb (see pic).
The mirror is his name written in Cryptography. Cryptography was common in Ancient Egypt, to preserve names as images so that no one can take their names as ones own.
Nebmaatra Amonhotep 3 did this as did Ramses 2.

Tut ankh aton would be "reflection of the Sun on Earth,"
and Tut ankh amon would be "reflection of the hidden God."

Edit:

The word "Aten" also means "mirror" - page 98-A, An Egyptian Hieroglyphic Dictionary, Vol. 1, E.A. Wallis Budge.


Ankh means "Mirror case" (p.126-B).

So Tut + Ankh = Image + Mirror Case + Mirror (Aten) = Mirror Case (artifact).
