1. Many traditions
Then, i checked various things that i found interesting. I found several pieces of papyrus which seem related to that story. Just to be sure, i gathered all the stories in which cornflowers appeared. I have organied them on the archaeology shelf. Please read them if you wish.

2. Cornflower blue...
The blue of the cornflower is the colour of sea of death
Even if drowning in a sea of flowers
King Neb kheperu-re will not come
The queen's body will vanish like a flower, the queen's eyes will sink like the sea of death.

3. In the tradition of folk creation?
King Neb kheperu-re? Hmm, i've never heard that name. It's probably folklore based on the story of Ankhesenamen. I will investigate a few leads myself and will let you know if i find anything.

4. Lead to Cairo
You've come at the perfect time! I just received word from the Cairo city official. He has obtained information related to something that a scholar was investigating. You were investigating the same thing, right? I will contact the scholar. You go to Cairo.

5. Papyrus bearing the Pharaoh's name
My grandfather took good care of this papyrus... I don't know anything about it, but according to knowledgeable sources, this is the name of a pharaoh. Pictures of the sun god Ra, scarab beetles and containers... These were apparently used as patterns for pharaohs. But you should see for yourself

6. Nebkheperure
Neb kheperu-re
Together with the bird that cannot fly and the holy flower

7. Name of an unknown Pharaoh
King Neb kheperu-re? That is the name of a pharaoh? I can't say i've heard of it. What does it mean by "bird that cannot fly?" I don't understand it at all. Maybe you should go back and talk to the Scholar at Alexandria? By the way, that was apparently copied from a relief in the middle Nile.

8. The greatest love of Ankhesenpaaten?
My goodness, Neb khepeeru-re was actually the name of a pharaoh!? Bird that cannon fly... That's just a fancy way of saying Ankhesenamen. The holy flower is the corn flower, and she who lost her beloved husband and had her freedom and happiness taken away could be called a bird who has had it wings broken and can no loger fly, so...

9. The flightless bird
...The beloved husband of Ankhesenamen is apparently a pharaoh named "Neb kheperu-re." According to the Cairo city official, he might be a respected king from the middle Nile. The writings on the papyrus resemble tombn writing, so it could be a clue finding an undiscovered pharaoh.

The Golden Throne ★★★ (Historical legacy) Exp:517 Fame:220
A golden throne adorned in rich cloth. The backrest contains an engraving thought to be that of the pharaoh and his queen. The two appear to be a happy couple in the carving, each wearing one of a single pair of sandals.
You will need the language or notes to speak with Cairo city official the 2nd time.
