Thanks Blam. To all, a little blast from the past. A similar topic was added a while ago, but this one was older, and I never found this one before (there's a method in my madness, wait for it, wait for it...).

Please FREEPMAIL me if you want on, off, or alter the "Gods, Graves, Glyphs" PING list --
Archaeology/Anthropology/Ancient Cultures/Artifacts/Antiquities, etc.
The GGG Digest -- Gods, Graves, Glyphs (alpha order)

Okay... here's what got me searching for lost topics. :') The new KMT journal has "An Amarna Icon Reconsidered: Berlin Relief 15000" by Earl L. Ertman.

[T]he presence of the cap-crown with the sun-disk-topped dual uraei, as well as the double lines below the abdomen, seem to require the identification of this figure as Nefertiti rather than any of her daughters; additionally, since the king's face on the relief is quite similar to an inscribed depiction of Akhenaten on British Museum stele No. 24431 -- and if the factors favoring a Nefertiti identification for the queen are correctly interpreted -- an object long thought to be a depiction of the royal couple Smenkhkare and Meritaten should now be revised as representations -- albeit not typical ones -- of King Akhenaten and Queen Nefertiti.

Now we can all sleep nights. ;')
