One of the reasons for Maspero’s uncertainty regarding “Thutmose I” was that the mummy’s arms are pendant, whereas other New Kingdom male rulers were embalmed with their arms crossed on their chests, at least this was true from “Thutmose II” onward.
With the exception of so-called “Seti II,” Harris and Wente concluded that the remains of the consecutive Nineteenth Dynasty kings — Seti I, Rameses II and Merneptah (Rameses I’s mummy being missing) — were correctly labeled and represented a consistent father-to-son-to grandson relationship, based on their similar craniofacial morphologies.
Something so simple as the apparent correspondences of “portraits” of Thutmose IV and Amenhotep II to the mummies thought (by the ancient necropolis priests) to be theirs should give pause to any rush to judgment about the latter’s identities as suggested by apparent discrepancies in their craniofacial morphologies.
