	Smenkhkare (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		'''Smenkhkare''' (sometimes spelled Smenkhare and Smenkare, and means "Strong is the Soul of Ra") was a Pharaoh of the Eighteenth Dynasty, successor of the heretic Akhenaten, and predecessor of Tutankhamen.
		Some suggest the fact that Smenkhkare appeared in the record about the same time that Nefertiti disappeared, and yet is still portrayed as having performed the rites reserved for the heir to the throne at Akhenaten's funeral indicates that Smenkhkare and Nefertiti were the same person.
		Smenkhkare's parentage is unknown - the leading theories are that he is a son of Akhenaten or of Amenhotep III.

		Her disapearance coincides with the rise of co-ruler Smenkhkare to the throne and the mention of Akhenaten's new Queen Kiya.
		Smenkhkare is thought to have been married to her daughter Meritaten.
		They were succeeded by Tutankhaten, who is thought to have been a son of either Amenhotep III or Akhenaten, and was probably a younger brother of Smenkhkare.

		Some identify Smenkhkare as Nefertiti, the wife of Akhenaton, which would make her the third woman to take the throne of Egypt and assume the royal titles of pharaoh.
		Others assert that Smenkhkare was a younger brother to Tutankhamun who reigned for only a short time.
		It was originally believed that Smenkhkare was buried in the Valley of the Kings, KV 55, in the tomb of Queen Tiy.

		Smenkhkare, who was probably one of Akhenaten's sons with a minor queen Kiya, was married to one of Akhenaten's daughters, Merytaten, and together they returned to Thebes to hopefully ease the escalating tensions.
		The next person in line to inherit the throne was Smenkhkare's brother Tutankhaten, who was also the son of Akhenaten and his lesser queen Kiya.
		Smenkhkare's mummy was believed to be found in an unfinished tomb in the Valley of the Kings (KV55).

		Smenkhkare and Merytaten are pictured in the tomb of Meryre ii at Amarna, and were once shown on a relief at Memphis.

	Pharaoh Smenkhkare
		Smenkhkare, who was given the same title (Neferneferuaten) as the now vanished Nefertiti, was crowned co-regent to Akhenaten when he (Smenkhkare) was about sixteen.
		According to Dr. Donald Redford, a professor of Egyptology and the director of the Akhenaten Temple Project, Smenkhkare may have succeeded Akhenaten by a short while, during which he made half-hearted attempts at going back to the old religion (something which probably wouldn't have happened while Akhenaten was alive).
		Because Smenkhkare appeared at the same time that Nefertiti seemingly vanished from view, and because he shared the title "Beloved of Akhenaten" with Nefertiti, some scholars believe that Nefertiti and Smenkhkare were one and the same.

	Pharaoh Akhenaten's Family: Just Who Was Tutankhamen? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Because Smenkhkare appeared at the same time that Nefertiti seemingly vanished from view, and because he shared the title "Beloved of Akhenaten" with Nefertiti, some scholars believe that Nefertiti and Smenkhkare were one and the same (Reeves 22-23).
		Tutankhaten succeeded Akhenaten and Smenkhkare and was married to Akhenaten's daughter Ankhesenpaaten.
		If Smenkhkare fathered Tutankhaten the same year that he married Merytaten, and then went on to outlive Akhenaten by about three years, then that would make Tutankhaten just barely seven when he came to the throne of Egypt (Tutankhaten was thought to have come to the throne when he was eight or nine).

	Smenkhkare - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ankhkheperure Smenkhkare (sometimes spelled Smenkhare and Smenkare; meaning "Strong is the Soul of Ra") was a Pharaoh of the Eighteenth Dynasty, successor of Akhenaten, and predecessor of Tutankhamun.
		contends that Smenkhkare was not Neferneferuaten, a junior co-regent of Akhenaten.
		Some scholars consider this to be the mummy of Smenkhkare while others are certain that it belongs to Akhenaten because its royal cartouches were deliberately erased from the king's coffin and his royal uraeus was removed, as were many traces of Akhenaten because of his controversial religious revolution.

	AKHENATEN the "heretic" pharaoh
		Smenkhkare is thought to have been married to her daughter Meritaten, and may have become Akhenaten's co-regent for a few years before Akhenaten's death.
		However, Smenkhkare is also depicted in many of the same ways as Nefertiti was, and his regnal name, Nefernefruaten, is quite similar to that of Nefertiti.
		This has led some scholars to believe that Smenkhkare was in fact another name for Nefertiti, and instead of falling from grace or dying, Nefertiti actually rose in power, taking the throne for herself after the death of her husband.

	Smenkhkare: Who IS this guy? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		If the body in KV55 is Smenkhkare, then we know that he was a young man when he died, and that he is closely related to Tutankhamen, quite possibly brothers.
		Late in Akhenaten's reign, Smenkhkare married Meritaten, th King's eldest daughter, who may or may not have been serving as her father or mother's (Ankh[et]kheperure Nefernefruaten) Great Royal Wife.
		Smenkhkare and Meritaten may have shared a brief reign (and Meritaten ta-Sherit could have been a child of this union) before they both died.

		Princess Meritaten [Merytaten], the wife of Smenkhkare, was the daughter of King Akhenaten and Queen Nefertiti.
		Following the disappearance of Nefertiti in Year 15 of Akhenaten's rule Meritaten is portrayed as consort of the king despite still being married to Smenkhkare.
		Smenkhkare and Akhenaten ruled as co-regents for two years and when Akhenaten died Smenkhkare became the king.

		Harris and Weeks also favored identifying Smenkhkare as the KV 55 mummy, and state that their examination revealed the bones to be that of a young man with no signs of hydrocephalus or any other pathological condition that could complicate anatomical age estimates.
		Any disturbance of Smenkhkare's original burial should have a significant bearing upon reconstructions of events in KV 55, the tomb in which his mummy was finally discovered.
		Dodson and Ikram argue that Smenkhkare, the co-regent of Akhenaten, was not very devout in his Atenist beliefs, and had this coffin made as part of his plan to be buried at Thebes in a non-Atenist fashion.

	Tut: (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Another theory is that Tutankhamun was the son of Smenkhkare and Meritaten.
		Smenkhkare came on the scene when Akhenaten entered the 14th year of his reign and during this time Meritaten married Smenkhkare.
		So if Smenkhkare is the father of Tutankhamun he would have needed a three year reign or more because if it was a three year reign Tutankhamun would have been barely seven when he came to the throne.

	Storia dell'età di El-Amarna
		Non ci sono dubbi sul fatto che Smenkhkare occupò il trono, visto che, su un certo numero di piccoli oggetti, il suo nome è scritto all’interno di un cartiglio.
		Smenkhkare, infatti, viene talvolta chiamato Neferneferuaten, lo stesso nome che in precedenza era stato assegnato a Nefertiti.
		Smenkhkare ebbe un posto particolare negli affetti di Akhenaten, come è dimostrato dagli epiteti "amato da Neferkheprure" e "amato da Waenre" (cioè Akhenaten): evidentemente, negli affetti del re, Smenkhkare rimpiazzò Nefertiti tanto quanto lo fece Merytaten.

		We know very little of Smenkhkare's life, or even where he was buried, though he is entwined with the mysteries of tomb KV 55 on the West Bank at Luxor (ancient Thebes).
		One of the factors that has led scholars to believe that the mummy is in fact Smenkhkare is a process of elimination.
		Further analysis has also revealed that the mummy's blood type and that of Tutankhamun are the same, and that the skull dimensions are very similar, leading scholars to believe that not only is this Smenkhkare, but that he was indeed Tutankhamun's older brother.

	Smenkhkare (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Smenkhkare apparently reigned for about three years, and spent some uncertain length of time as Akhenaten's coregent.
		The king's titulary is as follows: "King of Upper and Lower Egypt, Ankhkheperure, Son of Re, Smenkhkare, Holy-of-Manifestations [=Djeserkheperu], given life forever continually." The queen is Meritaten, Akhenaten's eldest daughter.
		Since neither Smenkhkare nor Tutankhamun was featured in artwork and texts from Akhenaten's reign the way Akhenaten's and Nefertiti's daughters were, it seems unlikely that they were children of Akhenaten by Nefertiti herself.

	Smenkhkare
		King Smenkhkare is thought to have ascended to the throne either in the latter years, or after the death of Akhenaten.
		This is an assumption which the reported discovery of a piece of gold foil bearing Smenkhkare's cartouche stolen from the tomb when it was opened would seem to confirm.
		Canopic jar stoppers found in the tomb are also thought to have been originally intended for Kiya but were later modified for a royal burial by the addition of the cobra to the brow.

	Smenkhkare, Coregent or Pharaoh?
		The truth is that this coffin was initially made for Smenkhkare and is the only true portrait we have of him at the time of his death.
		He tests waters with the suggestion that Smenkhkare and Meritaten were the possible parents of Tutankhamen.
		Smenkhkare is probably the son of Amenhotep by either Sitamen or one of his earlier daughter-wives (Iset / Henut'tanebu).

	Theory concerning the true parentage of Tutankhamun
		If Tutankhamun and Smenkhkare were the sons of Amenhotep III, what age would Amenhotep III have been to father them, and therefore how long would the co-regency have lasted between Amenhotep III and Akhenaten.
		Smenkhkare dies and is buried possibly in Thebes after beginning the movement back to the worship of the old gods.
		Smenkhkare was a co-regent of the Akhenaten and so loses his name and identity, but as a son of Amenhotep III and Tiye keeps his mummy for his Ka to inhabit.

	End Paper: New Take on Tut's Parents (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		If both Smenkhkare and Tutankhamen were the sons of Amenhotep III, by the same or different mothers (Tiye and Sitamen), this similarity would be explained: they were brothers.
		Likewise, if Smenkhkare (improbably) and Tutankhamen (more possibly) were the sons of Akhenaten, they were brothers (although, it is never postulated who Smenkhkare+s mother might have been in such a relationship).
		When Smenkhkare's burial in the Royal Wadi at Akhetaten was dismantled early in Tutankhamen's reign, for removal to Waset and semi-anonymous reinterment in Kings+ Valley Tomb 55, it seems evident that his kingly Osiride equipage was placed in storage - perhaps with the full intent that it would be reinscribed for his son's eventual use.

	Smenkhkare
		There was someone called Smenkhkare who was the co-regent of Akhenaten (during Akhenaten's later years as Pharaoh), but as to the identity of Smenkhkare there is still great debate:
		Eminent specialists have studied the skeleton and the majority agree that it is a male skeleton, in his mid twenties and so must have been the brother of Tutankhamun and so Smenkhkare could not of been Nefertiti.
		Since it would thus seem pretty evident that the coffin had at some point been intended for Smenkhkare - and inasmuch as it was altered from a royal female's coffin to one appropriate for a king- it is a fair leap of faith to presume that its last occupant was none other than Smenkhkare.
