Why do medieval Scottish chronicles send an Egyptian queen to Ireland? Scota, Egyptian Queen of the Scots treats the Scotichronicon as a memory of a real flight, not only as legend. Ellis reads Queen Scota as Ankhesenamun, daughter of Akhenaten, and her consort Gaythelos as Aye, vizier of the Amarna court. The book follows that royal pair from Egypt toward Ireland and Scotland, and it offers an Egyptian origin for the Scots origin-legend. The reading is his analysis of the chronicle. It is not an agreed history of early Scotland. Readers of the Egyptian Testament who want the sequence carried into Britain continue with this volume.
