KV62 as original tomb of Nefertiti?

 

 

 

KV62 as Nefertiti Tomb 001

IF Dr. Zahi Hawass is correct about the DNA findings of the royal Mummies of the 18^th Dynasty, which is not always the case, then we can deduce the following:

Akhenaton is the Father of Tutankhamon, and the full brother of the Mother of Tutankhamon (whom is a daughter of Amonhotep 3 Nebmaatra and Queen Tiye);

Nefertiti is the Mother of Tutankhamon, and daughter of Amonhotep 3, and mother of the female Mummy who is a full sister of Tutankhamon and mother of the 2 Fetuses found in KV62;

Nefertiti was the First Smenkhkara who was co-ruler of Akhenaton (King Smenkhkara 1), and was buried in KV62 (which was violated early in the reign of Tutankhamon);

KV62 was a tomb of a Female King originally and contained some Female King trappings and furnishings;

The Burial Chamber was indeed painted for Nefertiti as King by Tutankhamon her Son, and later painted over for Tutankhamon’s burial;

There are no Hidden Chambers in KV62 because there was no need for this as KV62 was Nefertiti’s tomb as King Smenkhkara 1;

Ankhesenpaaton was King Smenkhkara 2 as Ankh-kheperura Smenkhkara, and she married Tutankhamon to be his Queen and continue her reign after Akhenaton died;

Tutankhamon as direct Son of a King did not need to be married to a Daughter of the King, as done by Amonhotep 3 Nebmaatra whom married a commoner (Tiye);

Queen Meritaton was the Great Royal Wife of Akhenaton and the 2 rulers named Smenkhkara;

Tutankhamon kept KV62 for his personal use after the tomb was violated, so he wouldn’t have to build one while he was on campaign conquering the Border States;

Akhenaton was reburied with his mother Queen Tiye.

Now should the DNA Findings not match the Historical record of Egypt, we have the following:

If Akhenaton is the Father, then Nefertiti cannot be the Mother of Tut since Nefertiti is not listed as a daughter of Amonhotep 3 Nebmaatra in the Historical Records.

If Nefertiti is the Mother, then Akhenaton cannot be the Father of Tut, so he must be an uncle of Tut (Paternal relative), or if Nefertiti is an aunt of Tut rather than his mother.  In which case, Tut is the last son of Amonhotep 3 Nebmaatra and his real mother is Sitamon, the Daughter/Sister of Nebmaatra via incest, as both parents of Tut are siblings according to the DNA analysis (A3's mummy would need to be in KV55 for this).  Sitamon was married by Amonhotep 3 as a consort-wife to keep him in power according to Ancient Egyptian Laws (as an infant). Her age was younger than Akhenaton. Nefertiti would adopt Tut after Sitamon died. 

Sitamon would then be the First Smenkhkara #1, co-ruler of Akhenaton. Nefertiti pops up later to say she’s still alive, but not as a ruler.

Baketaton would be the female mummy, sister of Tutankhamon and mother of the 2 Fetuses; as daughter of Amonhotep 3 Nebmaatra. Ankhesenamon is buried in another tomb yet to be found. Baketaton was part of the royal harem as was Nefertiti.

Nefertiti’s name meant “The Beautiful Woman has arrived,” a Harem moniker. 

Tutankhamon himself wrote that “Amonhotep Nebmaatra was his father.”

The clothing mannequin in KV62 has a Golden Nefertiti Crown on it.

Does this sound confusing? If it does, then Welcome to Ancient Egypt!
