Here's what I think:

"Nefertiti" mummy: Smenkhkare
KV55 mummy: Akhenaten

But, hey, I don't know everything

I don't think it's a guy. Really Hawas didn't give any real evidence for that either. I'm still placing my bets on "Nefertiti Mummy" being Meritaten, "Elder Lady" being Tiye, "The Boy" being Thutmose (Akhenaten's brother) and KV55 being Smenkhkare.

I think KV55 was either Smenkare or Akhenaten's elder brother Thutmose, who died young, although the middle nody in KV35 is also speculated to be Thutmose.
While we know the body in KV 55 was closely related to Tut, all the shows and books I have seen/read take it further and say that it was a 'first-degree' relationship meaning either father and son or brother and brother. This means it must be either Smenkare if both Smenkare and Tut were sons of Akhenaten or Thutmose if Tut was a younger son of Amenhotep III as some have speculated.

If the KV55 mummy is Smenkhkare, then this one (if it's a man) can be Thutmose (maybe he was about 18-20 when he died, after all, he had some titles that indicate that he was grown up). But I really don't know. The whole Amarna age is a total chaos. Smile

I think Hawass is just coming up with excuse after excuse about the "Nefertiti mummy" isn't Nefertiti. Every time I read a comment that he has made on the subject, it is completely different from the ones he has made before. You you ask me he has no idea

Yes, my bad, your right about the titles held by Amenhirkhepeshef and Prince RAmses.
I think Hawass problem may have something to do with an article someone directed me to some time ago. CAn't for the life of me remember where but it related to Hawass and his demanding that the Rosetta Stone was stolen from Egypt and should be returned. It also related to comments he made about further excavations and explorations in Egypt would be limited for non Egyptian Egyptologists.
Maybe his doubts about the Nefertiti mummy are related to his need not to not want to share it with the world. It it becomes certain that it is Nefertiti then the whole egyptology community are sure to get involved. He wants to keep it for just his little inner circle I bet.
That facial reconstruction they did on that mummy was astounding wasn't it? Apparently they worked blind with no idea of whom they were supposedly reconstructing.

I for one am positive that Akhenaten is the father of Tutankhamun. And Kiya was Tut's mother. Nefertiti was jealous because she bore 6 daughters and could not conceive a son to inherit the throne, so after Kiya had Tut Nefertiti murdered her. The reason Nefertiti fell out of the picture later on during Akhenaten's reign was because Akhenaten was murdered by Ay, the same man that murdered Tut, so Nefertiti took the throne shortly to cover for her dead husband. Tut was obviously too young, so Nefertiti had to rule as Pharoah for a few years but she disguised herself as a man. She even used a man's name. Also, Queen Tiye's name is pronounced "Tie". Anymore questions?
