King Tutankhamen was the son of Akhenaton! Was He?


A bust for Tutankhamen, Cairo Museum. Painted by the author.

Most of archaeological studies led us to one conclusion which is being
king Tutankhamen is the son of Akhenaton but none of it provided us with any hard evidence. The DNA and the Ct tests that were made for Tutankhamen in the Egyptian Museum Clinic in 2010, which were followed by the supreme council of Antiquities statement. That statement determined that Tutankhamen was Akhenaton’s son but did not
Specify the name or the title for the referee mummy or mummies where the DNA sample came from once they were testing king Tut mummy which makes it’s results to be doubtful. For many decades Tutankhamen was believed by some Egyptologists to be Amunhotep III son and that was due to some texts found carved in the Karnak temple which referred to him as a son for a king imagined to be Amunhotep III!. Maybe that conclusion was due to having no written or carved names found for Akhenaton in the Karnak temple as being him hated by its clergy.


Text refers to Ankhesamun”Akhenaton’s daughter” to be Tutankhamen’s sister, Translated by the author.

This may surprise the readers of this essay, a text refers to the fact that king Tutankhamen was Akhenaton’s son. Reads “ It is mentioned {to } the king {by} Nebet-hat {who} comes wailing
{on} for {her} brother the Osiried- King.” The text is incised on the back of Tutankhamen innermost shrine. The Hieroglyphics writing can be tricky as in this text the use of the word Nebet-hat has a straight meaning which is merely a name of the goddess Nephthys who was Osiris sister by birth ? but the hidden meaning was to refer to
herself as a sister for king Tutankhamen who is considered in the text to be Osiris and therefore Nephthys is to represent Tutankhamen’s sister and wife “Ankhesamun”.
