And Tutness, I typed it somewhere else, too, but I wait your dancing Akhenaten picture

As to the rumor of Akhenaten's body having been burned in Amarna...

From other evidence, it seems that the mummy that was burned was a Roman-era mummy (Amarna was inhabited by Romans for a short period of time if I remember correctly). There is no proof that it was indeed Akhenaten's mummy, and why would villagers in the late-1800's burn a mummy anyways?

About the body in KV 55, the one that many people think is Smenkhkare...

If you read Nicholas Reeve's book Akhenaten: Egypt's False Prophet it says that two people did a comprehensive medical exam on the mummy and discovered that the body was older than before thought, old enough to be Akhenaten. However, they didn;t release their records, so no one can know the true facts of the autopsy. Others believe that the body is of a young man in his 20's, too young for Akhenaten, old enough to be the mysterious Smenkhkare (Unless you're one who believes that Smenkhkare and Nefertiti were one and the same, in which case it wouldn't make sense).

I also believe that Tutankhamen was the son of Akhenaten and Kiya. Who else could it have been? If you do the math, there is no was that it could have been Amenhotep III: If Akhenaten ruled for 17 years after his father's death and then Smenkhkare ruled for 2 years after that, it makes 19 years. Tutankhamen was 9 or 10 when he started ruling. How could Amenhotep have fathered a child after he was dead for 7 years?????

*grumbles*

Where does Cleopatra fit in? I'm sorry, it's a silly question.. but I thought she was tied with Tutankhaten in some relation?

Hehe, well.. that's how I learn I guess, by angering people to the extent of killing me. ...It's a wonder I haven't died yet! I remember how shocked I was to find that Ptolemy was more than some Greek dude, but an entire dynasty!

okay when Cloepatra and Caesr we're not the match made in heaven plus cloepatra should married mark anthony at least he was cutier than caesr
