Wasn't Ankhesenamen the daughter of Atenaken and Nefertiti? Also, wasn't Tutankamen the son of Atennaken and a lesser wife? It was my understanding that art work from the Amarna indicted the Atenaken and Nefertiti had six daughters.
If this mummy turned out to be Ankhesnamen would it be possible, or even allowed, to do DNA comparisons between it and the desecrated mummy that some speculate to be Nefertiti?

The two had no sons; the parentage of Tut and Smenkhare have been speculated about, although generally they are considered to be the sons of Akhenaten and someone besides Nefertiti (perhaps each brother had a different mother). There's been a real drive on to make Smenkhare into a butched-up version of Nefertiti, but that's just wishful thinking IMHO.
