I still have a bronze bust of Nefertiti that I bought in Cairo in the early 60's.

Why was she buried with Amenhotep II when her husband was Akhenaten? Was Amenhotep her father? If she was Tutankhamun's step-mother, who was his biological mother?

That is a disgusting and insulting comparison, although I would like to see THAT younger woman walled up in a tomb somewhere...

I thought she was Tut's mother-in-law, but maybe that was Neferteri. I can never keep these people straight.

Here's a blip from a website:

"Little is known about the origins of Nefertiti but it seems unlikely that she was of royal blood. Her father was possibly a high official of Amenhotep III and Akhenaten called Ay, who went on to become Pharaoh after Tutankhamun. "

Now, here's a mummy Bubba can really get into, a real Queen no less. That South American mummy that gave him the hots was just a commoner.

Nefertiti's jug ears are just right for him to handle, to boot.

According to a website, King Tut is believed to be from a union between his father Akhenaten and a lesser wife named Kia. Nefertiti and Akhenaten had six daughters only, no sons. Also: "Tutankhaten became a Boy King at the age of about nine. He married a slightly older Ankhesenpaaten (below right), one of the daughters of Akhenaten and Nefertiti."

So, she was his step-mother and also his mother-in-law. And, he actually married a half-sister.
