Also I found a 13th dynasty Ay. Anyone know why he is not Ay the first?

I didnt really bother reading all of this. However I will correct a few (basic, and un-missable) mistakes. I'm sorry if someone else already put this right.

1. Akhenaten and Nefertiti did not in fact have sons. That honor was bestowed to Kiya, who birthed Akehnaten a son.

2. This son was tut. Or to use his full name Tutankamun.

3. Tutankamun was before named Tutankaten. He changed his name to Tutankamun to please the severally outraged peoples of Egypt. Who seriously hated Akenhaten and the new Aten religion (Tut replaced the old religion and put Amun back on his high chair.)

4. Smenkhkare cannot possibly have been Tutankamen. For 100 reasons. One being that that would mean he took the throne at age 4 or 5. Yeah. Exactly.

5. what do you people read. Honestly.

6. And the mother was definitely not Queen Tiye...

I came here thinking Id find a logical and reasonable argument. Not the theories of a 14 year old. if I have made mistakes please reply so I can destroy you with logic and well founded scientific knowledge to the point were you will want to delete your account and study ancient Sparta.

This is without any proof whatsoever. Many scholars theorize that Tut was a son of Amenhotep III.
There is no documented source of the parentage of Tutankhamen.

Here's an interesting addition.

Smenkhare

Here's a photo of the Tutankhamun picture I purchased a few months ago...

I don't know about you, but I can sure see the resemblance.

Has anyone ever noticed that the inner coffin mask and outer one of king Tut actually do not dipict the same face?

That's not surprising when you think of how Tut's whole mummification process was rushed.

Sorry I havent explained myself properly. The face on the sarcophagus and that of the solid gold death mask, in my opinion, due not appear to be the same person.

Most accounts do mention that some of tuts equipment was reused from other pharohs.

That's right. It wasn't expected that he would die so soon. Even his tomb wasn't the one he intended for himself. He had chosen one close to his grandfather, Amenhotep III.
