Daughter of Pharaoh Akhenaten and the fabled Nefertiti, and married at one time to her father, she is forced to marry Tutankhamun by the powerful General Horemheb at a time of bitter political and religious division.

In the book The Tutankhamun Affair by Christian Jacq he is a key character.

This is also when he changed his name to Tutankhamun.

The research also showed that Tutankhamun had " a slightly cleft palate " and possibly a mild case of scoliosis, a medical condition in which the spine is curved from side to side.

The most famous example of this is on the throne of Tutankhamun.

Some scholars believe that Nefertiti ruled briefly as Neferneferuaten after her husband's death and before the accession of Tutankhamun, although this identification is a matter of ongoing debate.

The Gold Mask of Tutankhamun, composed of 11 kg of solid gold, is on display at the Egyptian Museum

The best known artifact in King Tutankhamun ’ s tomb is the famous Gold Mask, which rested over the bandages that were wrapped around the King ’ s face.

The first known appearance of the ouroboros motif is in the Enigmatic Book of the Netherworld, an ancient Egyptian funerary text in KV62, the tomb of Tutankhamun, in the 14th century BC.

While evidence for the military activities of Akhenaten, Tutankhamun and Horemheb is fragmentary or ambiguous, Seti I has left us an impressive war monument that glorifies his achievement, along with a number of texts, all of which tend to magnify his personal achievements on the battlefield.

" It is described as the most famous bust of ancient art, comparable only to the mask of Tutankhamun.

The " Curse of the Pharaohs " is supposed to have haunted the archeologists who excavated the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamun, whereby an imprecation was supposedly pronounced from the grave by the ancient Egyptian priests, on anyone who violated its precincts.

The mask of Tutankhamun is made of gold

The results of genetic and other scientific tests published in February 2010 have confirmed that the person buried there was both the son of Amenhotep III ( as well as the father of Tutankhamun ), and also that his age at the time of his death was in fact consistent with that of Akhenaten's ; it is therefore almost certain that it is indeed Akhenaten's body .< ref name =" HawassZahi "> Hawass, Zahi et al.

It is located in the central area of the Valley, immediately adjacent to and below KV 6 ( Ramesses IX ) and across the valley floor from KV7 ( Ramesses II ) and the near-contemporary tomb KV62 ( Tutankhamun ).

Although it is unclear whether or not the original blocking of the tomb was stamped with Tutankhamun's seal, the several small seal impressions carrying his prenomen are most likely related to the reburial ( s ) in KV55 since he was probably not involved in the original burial preparations of either Tiye ( who died several years before Tutankhamun came to the throne ) or Akhenaten ( who presumably was buried by his co-regent and probable immediate successor Smenkhkare ).< ref > Reeves, C. N., < cite > Valley of the Kings </ cite > ( Kegan Paul, 1990 ) p. 44 </ ref >

One scenario, suggested by Nicholas Reeves, is as follows: Akhenaten and his mother, Queen Tiye, were originally entombed at Akhenaten's new capital Akhetaten ( modern Amarna ) but their mummies were moved to KV55 following the total abandonment of Akhetaten during the reign of Tutankhamun, who was Akhenaten's son.

It is only with the accession of Tutankhamun, and the restoration early in this king's reign, that events appear to become clear again.

Unfortunately the name of this queen's husband, Niphururiya, might equally be a rendering of the prenomen of either Akhenaten ( Neferkheprure ) or Tutankhamun ( Nebkheprure ).< ref > Reeves, C. N., < cite > Akhenaten, Egypt's false Prophet </ cite > ( Thames and Hudson ) p. 165 </ ref > Traditionally identification with the latter is preferred and consequentially Dakhamunzu is identified with his widow Ankhesenamun ( later married to her servant Ay ).

In the former case it is assumed that Tutankhamun supplanted Nefertiti on the throne after the murder of Zannanza, in the latter case it is believed that Meritaten was afterwards forced to marry her servant Smenkhkare although the possible identification of Zannanza as Smenkhkare is also suggested.

In the 2009 novel Tutankhamun: the book of shadows by Nick Drake, Rahotep is the chief detective in the Theban Medjay during the reign of Tutankhamun.

In hieroglyphs, the name Tutankhamun was typically written Amen-tut-ankh, because of a scribal custom that placed a divine name at the beginning of a phrase to show appropriate reverence.

In the Tell el-Amarna letters, written during the last twelve years of Pharaoh Akhenaten and the first regnal year of Tutankhamun ( 14th century BCE ), Abdi-Heba spoke of the destruction of the " city of Ajalon " by the invaders, and describes himself as " afflicted, greatly afflicted " by the calamities that had come on the land, urging the king of Egypt to hasten to his help.

Hawass has written and co-written many books relating to Egyptology, including King Tutankhamun: The Treasures from the Tomb, published to coincide with a major exhibition in the UK.

He has also written an article on Tutankhamun in Ancient Egypt magazine, and has written several articles for this bi-monthly UK-based magazine in the past.

In 1922 in the Egyptian Valley of the Kings the tomb of Tutankhamun ( KV62 ) was opened by Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon.

An almost pristine example was found in the tomb of Tutankhamun by Howard Carter.

Together, the Lances and Florence Amherst mounted a campaign for recognition of the Middle Eastern breed, that coincided with the phenomenon of " Tutmania " caused by Howard Carter's discovery of Tutankhamun ’ s tomb in late 1922.

The opening of the mouth ceremony, a key funerary ritual, performed for Tutankhamun by his successor Ay.

* La Reine Soleil ( 2007 animated film by Philippe Leclerc ), features Akhenaten, Tutankhaten ( later Tutankhamun ), Akhesa ( Ankhesenepaten, later Ankhesenamun ), Nefertiti, and Horemheb in a complex struggle pitting the priests of Amun against Akhenaten's intolerant monotheism.

There are depictions of the imiut fetish on ancient Egyptian temples, and sometimes there were models of it included with the funerary equipment, most notably the two found in the burial chamber of Tutankhamun by Howard Carter.

Theories suggest she could have been an Egyptian royal by birth, a foreign princess or the daughter of a high government official named Ay, who became pharaoh after Tutankhamun.

" According to Claudia Breger, another reason that the Nefertiti bust became associated with a German national identity was its place as a rival to the Tutankhamun find by the British, who then ruled Egypt.

Among them were eleven wooden shabti statuettes from Yuya, a gilded wooden statue of Tutankhamun carried by a goddess and a statue of Nefertiti.

Akhenaton's religious reforms ( later regarded heretical and reverted under his successor Tutankhamun ) have been described by some scholars as the earliest known example of monotheistic thought while others consider it to have been an example of henotheism.

The mummy found in the tomb has been identified by DNA testing as the biological father of Tutankhamun, confirmed through inscriptional evidence to be Akhenaten.

The presence of copper rosettes indicate that a funeral pall was draped on a frame associated with the shrine, also comparable to Tutankhamun's shrines .< ref name =" bell p. 129 "> Bell, M.

The tomb was examined several times once exploration of the Valley in relatively modern times started, first in 1825 ( by James Burton ), and later in 1902 ( by Howard Carter, discoverer of the tomb of Tutankhamun, who used KV5 only as a dumping ground ).

However, genetic studies of the Egyptian royal mummies, led by Zahi Hawass and Carsten Pusch, have now established that Tutankhamun ’ s biological mother was KV35YL, the " Younger Lady " discovered in the mummy cache in the tomb of Amenhotep II.

Having suggested that Kiya was the mother of Tutankhamun, Nicholas Reeves writes that " it is not beyond the realm of possibility that she fell from grace in a coup engineered by the jealous Nefertiti herself.

DNA test results published in February 2010 have shown conclusively that the Younger Lady mummy was the mother of Tutankhamun, and by extension a wife of Akhenaten.

When Tutankhamun died while still a teenager, Horemheb had already been officially designated as the rpat or iry-pat ( basically the " Hereditary or Crown Prince ") and idnw (" Deputy of the King " in the entire land ) by the child pharaoh ; these titles are found inscribed in Horemheb's then private Memphite tomb at Saqqara which dates to the reign of Tutankhamun since the child king's ...
