THE ELDER WOMAN

Possibly Queen Tiye from the controversial tomb KV55

THE MUMMY OF TUYA

The mother of Queen Tiye and the Vizier Ay

COULD THIS BE THE MUMMY OF NEFERTITI?

Nefertiti was the granddaughter of Yuya and Tuya and, according to my novel, the niece of Queen Tiye. This mummy's mouth and chest cavity were crushed soon after death, evidenced by the fact that the rest of her beautiful face didn't splinter. Notice the long neck and high cheekbones, as well as the double pierced ears.

TINY MUMMY

IIn King Tut's tomb Howard Carter discovered a case containing small anthropoid coffins with the mummified fetuses of Tutankhamun and Queen Ankhesenamun's daughters. The smaller one was a 5 month old fetus.

Akhenaten, Nakhtmin, and Horemheb: Their bodies that have never been positively identified. Perhaps beneath the sands of Egypt, their mummies still remain.

 

 

POSSIBLY TIYE

YUYA

The father of Queen Tiye and the Vizier Ay

THE MUMMY OF KING TUT

The mummified head of King Tut, along with the rest of the boy king's body, was discovered by Howard Carter.

TINY MUMMY

The second fetus was also female and probably died in the 7th month of development. One of the fetuses had spina bifida as well as scoliosis. They were the product of a half-brother/sister marriage between Tut and Nefertiti's third daughter.
