This book presents the latest research findings and materials on the enigmatic figure of the late Amarna period: Smenkhkare. It is still disputed today whether Smenkhkare was a young man at Akhenaton 's side or Queen Nefertiti, who succeeded her hus¬band with this fictitious identity as a male pharaoh. The identification of the mummy from tomb KV 55 is a crucial piece of the puzzle of this Egyptological enigma. In 2015, a new theory was put forward by C. N. Reeves, according to which Nefertiti alias Smenkhkare is to be found in un¬discovered chambers in Tutank¬hamun 's tomb. Updated new edition
