	Ancient Egypt Kings list; Smenkhare
		Smenkhare had two coronation names, not one coronation name and a birth name as would usually be the case.
		However, the clearly male Smenkhare appears with his wife Merytaten (daughter of Nefertiti and Akhenaten), in Meryre II's tomb at Amarna, and a male mummy found in tomb KV55 is generally considered to be Smenkhare.
		While Smenkhare seems to have been buried along with grave goods named for Amenhotep III, Tutankhamun, Akhenaten, and Queen Tiye, it appears that many of the goods buried with his successor (Tutankhamun) were in fact taken from the burial of Smenkhare and hastily renamed.

	Living in Truth by Charles N.Pope - Chapter 26: "A Double Portion" (Smenkhare Prepares the Way for ...
		The so-called ascension of Elijah corresponds to the appointment of Smenkhare as co-regent of Akhenaten.
		The life of Smenkhare was being carefully scripted by "the Lord." Yet, it is not entirely clear at any given moment whether he remained faithful to his father or ultimately became truly free (as Panehesy did) and a rebel in every sense of the word.
		If Smenkhare became the king of Moab, then the previous ruler (Amenhotep III) was by definition his "father." Nevertheless, as the son of Queen Tiye, the widowed Chief Royal Wife of Amenhotep III, Smenkhare could reasonably claim to be the "son" of Amenhotep III.

	The Heretic King
		The best supported theories are those that place Smenkhare as Nefertiti (this is the theory I beleive to have the most accredited evidence behind it), a lesser wife Kiye, or one of Akhenaten's daughters Meretaten.
		From a historical standpoint, it appears that Ay, whoever he was, would have had the most to gain and the least to lose in the event of the young pharaoh's death.
		To conclude, I believe that there was only one Smenkhare, regardless of who he (or she) was.

	Smenkhare and tutankhamon
		Even though he was Commander in Chief not only to Akhenaton but also Smenkhare and Tutankhamon as well, he had the painful decision to desert his sovereign and throw in his lot with the plans of Aye, for the ultimate benefit of the country.
		This, together with the actual birth name of Smenkhare, which was Neferneferuaten, is very similar in form to that of Nefertiti.
		This is a possibility for Smenkhare but not for Tutankhamon due to their difference in age.

	Matt & Andrej Koymasky - Famous GLTB - Akhenaton
		One stumbling block to this theory is the fact that Smenkhare married one of Akhenaten's daughters, Meritaten.
		Another theory on the separation between pharaoh and queen suggests that Nefertiti was even more fanatical in her worship of the Aten than her husband, and by around the fifteenth year of his reign, Akhenaten's enthusiasm was waning.
		We may have the mummy of either Akhenaten or Smenkhare, but in such condition it is unlikely to provide an answer as to cause of death.

		But Akhenaten chose his other brother, Smenkhare, as the next ruler, marrying him to his oldest daughter (although some say Akhenaten had a relationship with him too).
		Smenkhare and Akhenaten seem to have died at around the same time.
		Smenkhare's damaged mummy was found (1905) in a defaced, woman's coffin, his arms in the traditional position of a dead Queen, not a Pharoah

	Talk:Akhenaten - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Almost all seem to agree than Smenkhare (whoever he/she is - there are many well-argued theories for that) came between Akhenaten and Tutankhamun.
		Although not all agree that Smenkhare outlasted Akhenaten, most do seem to agree with that.
		Smenkhare's rule was certainly short, and was probably mostly as co-regent with Akhenaten, but most seem to have him/her continuing on for a brief period after the latter's death.

	1320: Section 10: Akhenaten and Monotheism
		Named Smenkhare, which is close to all we know about him, this pharaoh appears suddenly in the historical record two years before Akhenaten's death.
		A late relief depicting Smenkhare with Akhenaten is about all there is to track this most cryptic of Egyptian pharaohs, along with a few documents showing that he married one of Akhenaten's daughters, surely an attempt to secure his claim to the throne after Akhenaten's death.
		One theory is that Akhenaten sensing the approach of death—but how?—married his eldest daughter by Nefertiti to Smenkhare who was the son of a secondary wife.

	Matt & Andrej Koymasky - Famous GLTB - Smenkhare
		After becoming co-regent, Smenkhare was sent to Thebes in what was believed to be an attempt at reconciliation with the priests there.
		A theory is that Nefertiti disappeared from the scene because of Smenkhare.
		The only bodies found there were those of his daughter, Meketaten (who died young) and the remains of an unidentified and burnt man found outside the tomb.

	about
		Following the death of Akhenaten the succession is confusing but Smenkhare ruled for a short period until Tutankhamun succeeded to the throne.
		He was buried in a hastily prepared tomb (number KV 62 of modern numbering) in the Valley of the Kings, the traditional burial place of his predecessors.
		One of the coffins in which he was buried is actually inscribed with the name of Smenkhare and must have been originally made for him.

	Israel's Experience with Ancient Egypt
		It was Ay, probably the brother of Tiy, who buried Tutankhamen several years after the death of Smenkhare, whose cartouche was found in the tomb and he is being shown administering the mortuary rites of `the opening of the mouth' at the funeral.
		Coming back to the story of Smenkhare, in life Smenkhare wore already the regalia of the king when Akhnaton was still alive since they are shown on the same bas relief indicating that Akhnaton gave away his royal power in his life time while Smenkhare was still in his teens.
		She is thus Smenkhare's sister and wife, Meritaten, the Antigone who secretly buried her brother's body and was immured living within a pit for her deed.

	BBC - History - The End of the Amarna Period
		Some archaeologists have argued that Smenkhare and the pharaoh-queen are one and the same person.
		However, the image of Smenkhare alongside the royal wife Merytaten, in Meryre II's tomb at Amarna, and the exclusively masculine epithets referring to this individual in the same tomb and on a now-vanished block at Memphis, confirm that we are dealing with a man - as distinct from the pharaoh-queen Ankh(et)kheperure Neferneferuaten.
		The fact that his wife, Merytaten, bears only the title of queen on these monuments leads me to believe that his reign preceded that of Ankh(et)kheperure Neferneferuaten who was, it is highly likely, Merytaten herself.

	Nefertiti Revealed (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The fact that the measurement of the skull are identicle to that of Tutankhamun, would also seem to suggest that this body was a close relative of the boy king, leading to speculation that Smenkhare may have been an older brother of King Tut, possibly with the same mother, Kiya.
		Smenkhare of course may or may not be the body in tomb 55, but no trace of his wife, Meritaten has ever been found.
		I personally do not believe that Smenkhare and Nefertiti were the same person, as all the evidence is purely circumstantial.

	Akhenaton: "Father of Monotheism
		Some scholars believe, however, that the young Smenkhare, coregent with Akhenaton for a short period, and Tutankhamun, successor to both Akhenaton and Smenkhare, were the elder pharaoh's sons by lesser wives.
		It also appears that Smenkhare, Akhenaton's young brother, died mysteriously as he was being groomed to inherit the throne.
		Following Smenkhare's death and that of Akhenaton, the kingship passed to Tutankhamon, the youngest of the three brothers.

	Akhenaten: The Great Heretic Ruler
		Smenkhare immediately dismantled Akhenaten's religion, and returned Egypt to its previous one (Hawkins "Smenkhare" 1).
		The capital was moved back to Memphis, and many of Akhenaten's paintings and sculptures were destroyed (Ross 5).
		The constant destruction could be the reason that Akhenaten's mummy is still undiscovered, but, Weigal and many other archaeologists believe that he was moved to the controversial Tomb no. 55 (Aldred 195).

	A Clegg Series Investigative Study - On King Tut's Black Roots
		The boy king, who is believed to have reigned from the age of 9 to 18, married his sister, Ankhesenamun.
		All of the couple's daughters, including Meryet-Amon, who was the chief queen of Smenkhare and Ankhesenamun, the chief queen of Tutankhamun (and later, following his death, the wife of King Ay), also appear to have had African physical features.
		This king married the beautiful Tiye and, according to conventional scholars, she bore for her husband the successive rulers of Egypt -Amenhotep IV (Akhenaton), Smenkhare and Tutankhamun.

	Smenkhare and Tuankhamon
		There is much physical evidence that pieces together a good mystery regarding Tutankhamun, including his actual body which to any detective is an essential element in the equation.
		This boy was more than likely a very close blood relative, possibly his brother, or at least half brother.
		However, there is even greater evidence for the murder of Tutankhamun by Aye, for he stole the young boy king’s tomb and forced his young widow to marry him so he could ascend the throne.

	Secrets of the Pharaohs: Part 1
		Reeves, it should be noted, believes that Smenkhare, who briefly reigned between Akhenaten and Tut, was none other than Nefertiti ruling after Akhenaten's death.
		Little is known about Smenkhare and others have suggested he might have been a brother of Tut or even of Akhenaten.
		The Tomb 55 individual was either Tut's father (most scholars accept that Akhenaten was Tut's father) or Tut's brother, the elusive Smenkhare.

		His successors, the shadowy Smenkhare and the more famous Tutankhamun restored the old gods, and the latter has left the most famous tomb collection in Egypt.
		But his early death caused problems over the succession and he was succeeded by the elderly Ay and then General Horemheb, whose death marked the end of the Dynasty.
		This short class will examine the role of each, together with the famous Nefertiti, who some claim was Smenkhare, as well as the strange portrayal of Akenaten and Nefertiti in the art of the period.

		Now this brings us to the infamous KV 55, in which we have a man interred in a coffin that was clearly meant for a women.
		However from what I've been reading the evidence seems to support the fack that it is Smenkhare who is in the coffin and not Akh.

	Knitting Circle Akhenaten
		Scholars have discussed the interpretation of this with some regarding it as indicating the concept of kingship uniting male and female, while others suggest that it indicates a glandular disorder.
		In Mesopotamia (ancient Sumeria), Akhenaten allowed institutions of state-supported cult male and female prostitution attached to temples, and in some instances, the inmates received a regular salary.
		He suggested that Smenkhare could have been Nefertiti who may have assumed the new name when taking over from Akhenaten after his death.

	Lord Meren
		The events of these two novels are based in part on data from Egyptology that cover the reigns of several pharaohs-Amunhotep III (the Magnificent), Amunhotep IV/Akhenaten, Smenkhare (briefly), and Tutankhamun (formerly Tutankhaten).
		However, these data are often open to different interpretations; even dates of reigns may vary from reference to reference, scholar to scholar.
		The pharaoh Smenkhare, who was either the son of Amunhotep III or Akhenaten, may have ruled briefly, but history knows the reign of the next king far better-that of the boy king Tutankhamun.
