On this palette it says she is the daughter of Nefertiti.

I wonder why destroyed that mummy like that I find it interesting that theybdestroyed just years before the finding of Tutankhamen makes me wonder if there were secret gangs of the old days that were still around and jobs were to prevent anyone from still knowing thd Armarna family.

Smenkhare was very much real and he waz just a co-regent.

correct me if im wrong but wasn't Nefertiti elevated to co-regent before Smenkhare? I think it should look like this:

Nepkeperure Akhenaten
Neferneferuaten-Nefertiti (co-regent) y14-16
Ankheperure Smenkhare(co-regent) y16

Ankheperure Neferneferuaten Meritaten- stuck in a whole(figure of speech)

Tutankhamen (true heir)

Yeah I know, I dont have evidence or stuff written on fancy paper to prove this but to me it seems like some of the answers are stairing you all in the face.(scenario) Akhenaten fell sick in his last few years so he may have needed someone to sit in hiis position until he got better sadly he did not. Neferneferuaten-Nefertiti was first then Smenkhare is what I believe and they were all there while Akhenaten was alive.

His first choice would had to been his wife as she held equal responsibility to the reforms and she was experienced. Putting Smenkhare up first wouldn't have been wise.

it makes more sense to make smenkhkare king before a woman. akhenaten must have known putting a woman on the throne with 2 male heirs in the shadows was not a good idea.

the only time women held power in egypt was usually as regent. and neferneferuaten probably started out as one for tut. if she ruled as king on her own, she would have imitated hatshepsut. and we all know the later egyptians did not like that scenario.

True true.


As of Kv21a I dont think she's Ankh. Ankh herself helped Tut when he was injured if you font believe me look carefully at her depictions she's always there no one else. How can a queen with clubb feet especially like that even move.

Or another scenario could be that they binded her feet so she couldn't run and killed her for her treachery.

I think this a cache of queens thus a cache from Amenhotep 3's time it could be

Sitamun(kv21a)
You know come to think of it we always see Sitamun sitting down. She's not on that statue. Of Tiye and Amenhotep 3 with her three other sisters(hmp was that); could Sitamun be Kv21a.

I'm thinking that the juxtaposition in the tomb of Meyre II of images of the great durbar and then "Smenkhkare" (if the missing cartouches are to be believed) show the promotion of Nefertiti to co-regent and that she is "Smenkhkare".

This would account for the lack of other evidence of that king, as well as the images of a female regent re-inscribed for Tutankhamun.

Meyre II had the title Royal scribe, Steward, Overseer of the Two Treasuries, Overseer of the Royal Harim of Nefertiti. Surely it is possible his tomb decoration relates not only to his own life but to the most important events of his mistresses life? What could be more important than elevation to the kingship?
