GGG Ping.
Wow!
Pictures? ;)
Tut may not have known either...

Ankhesenamen is not only Tutankhamen's wife but evidence also strongly indicates she was his half-sister as well. The article calls her Ankhesenpaaten but her name was later changed to Ankhesenamen after Egypt shifted back to the old religious practices which are oriented towards the worship of Amen instead of Aten.

Lara Croft, Tomb Raider is on as I read this. One of those funny koinkydinks online.
"Born in Arizona, moved to Babylonia, King Tut!"
Seriously, Tutankhamen was always shown as married in funerary depictions. Died at eighteen, poor kid.
The word "sister" as used in ancient amorous poetry did not necessarily imply incest, but simply that another female had replaced one's actual sister as an ideal object of love and devotion. Read the Song of Songs.
bttt
Thanks Waggs. Tut was married to (possibly) a half-sister, and the relationship may have been closer than that. :'o
To the others addressed above, a ping, you can guess why. ;')

There has been a lot of speculation that she was forced to marry Tut's successor to legitimize his accession to the throne.
Ankhesenpaaten is also the daughter of Nefertiti.
If this is really Ankhesenpaaten ,I can't wait to see the complete facial reconstruction of this mummy.
Who decides who has access to them?
