readx;? Second, he was the biological son of the former pharaoh Ehatun. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Some researchers believe that because the queen never gave birth to a son, Akhenathong gave birth to Tutankhamun with another woman for the purity of royal blood. It is even believed that this woman is likely to be one of the daughters of Eheatun. Therefore, Tutankhamun may even marry his own half-sister or his own aunt.

The truth of this palace secret, which took place about 3,000 years ago, is still a matter of opinion. If DNA tests can be done on these mummies, perhaps this problem can be solved.

In 2008, Egyptian archaeologist Tashi Hawass began studying Tutankhamun's origins, hoping to extract DNA from the mummies in question to uncover the teenage pharaoh's origins and the reasons for his premature death.

Tashi Hawass' team used DNA testing technology to examine Tutankhamun himself and the 10 genealogies of the 18th dynasty, five generations of the royal family, which have long been suspected of being close relatives. Tutankhamun's male ancestral group was identified by investigating the shared sequences in the Y chromosome, and the immediate family relationship between the mummies was determined by looking for signs of DNA mixing between specific men and women (couples). DNA tests proved that Amenhotep III was Tutankhamun's grandfather.

DNA tests also preliminarily revealed that the two aborted fetuses that accompanied Tutankhamun were actually the daughters of him and his wife, Queen Anjosenamon. In 1932, anatomists confirmed that one of the baby girls had died in the womb of their mother at five months. A mummy, known as the "Old Woman", was tested on DNA to prove that it was Queen Tiyi, Tutankhamun's grandmother and wife of Amenhotep III. Another mummy, known as the "Young Lady", was Tutankhamun's biological mother. Tutankhamun's mother was thought to have been Nefertiti, the queen of Ampult IV, who was known for his iconic bust. However, DNA studies have confirmed that Tutankhamun's biological mother, Kia, was also born to Amenhotep III and Queen Tiy, and was the sister of Eheatun, that is, Tutankhamun was born to his biological brother and sister.

So Tutankhamun's father was Ekhatun, and his mother was not Queen Nefertidi, but Ekhatun's concubine and sister Kiya. But when Tutankhamun was a child, Kia had already died. Raised by Queen Nefertiti.

Nefertiti loved him as his own, and betrothed himself and Eheatun's third daughter, Anhosenammon, to Tutankhamun. Although Tutankhamun and Anhosenamon are half-sisters, the two love each other deeply, have a good relationship, and have a happy marriage, the only fly in the ointment is that Anhosennamon unfortunately lost their child due to difficult childbirth.

Tutankhamun grew up in the city of Ekhtatun (now known as Amarnaita).

In 1368 BC, Tutankhamun left Ekhtatun with Nefertiti and reached Thebes, where Nefertiti changed his name to Smunkara and appointed himself pharaoh. Two governments centered on Thebes and Ekhtatun emerged at the same time.

In 1367 BC, Ehatun died of the plague. The government centered on Ekhtatun was dissolved.

In 1365 BC, Tutankan Katun, the son of Eheathong and Queen Nefertiti (Smonkara), succeeded to the throne of Egypt and was the twelfth pharaoh of the Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt. At this time, Tutankhamtun was only 9 years old and had Thebes as his capital.

The religious reform of Eheatun dealt a heavy blow to the religious forces, but the reckless reform of Eheatun deeply touched the rights and interests of the old forces, and the whole country was in the **** during the reign of Eheatun.

After Tutankhamun ascended the throne, he was too young to have real power. The real rulers of this period were the following people: Tiy, the wife of his grandmother Amenhoteb III and mother of Ekhatun, Ayi, the vizier of the pharaoh (Vizier of Upper Egypt), the great general Holenhaib, Maya, the treasurer, Huy, the governor of Nubia, Naktermin, another general, and two viziers, named Yusmons and Ponteyu.

At the instigation of religious figures, and perhaps with the intervention of those who actually held power such as Tiyi, the restoration of the Old Religion was carried out, the god Amun was re-established as the head of the gods, the temple dedicated to the traditional Egyptian gods that had been closed by Eheatun was restored, the monks of the temple of Amun were completely rehabilitated, the temple property was restored, and the families of some of the monks who were executed and the disabled monks were compensated by the state treasury. and officially moved the capital back to Thebes, where it became the religious center of Egypt. The city of Ekhtatun ceased to be the capital.

Tutankhamun's name was also changed from Tutankhamun (the image of Lord Amon) to Tutankhamun (the image of Lord Amun), indicating that his thinking changed from worshipping Lord Atun to worshipping Lord Amun. At the same time, his father, Eheatun, was declared a "sinner", and his name should be erased from everyone's memory, so the words "Eheatun" were to be removed from the building.

Soon, with the support of the followers of Amun, he truly grasped all the authority that Pharaoh should enjoy.

Tutankhamun, the young pharaoh, left his mark on the temple of Luxor, and he was responsible for continuing the construction of the palace walls built by Amenhotep III around the colonnade, and he also built a beautiful Sphinx statue for Karnak.

The Tutankhamun chariot was a high-speed chariot used in the Tutankhamun period, it was a super chariot of the time, involving a professional theoretical basis including wheels, wheel hubs, bearings, and the design between the body and the ox yoke, marking the engineering skills of the Egyptian charioteers of the Tutankhamun era had reached an astonishing level.

As a result of the Ehatun reforms, Egypt did not pay attention to foreign wars, and as a result, some of the Syrian and Palestinian dependencies of West Asia began to become independent and fell to the Hittites.

Some tomb scenes show that Tutankhamun was a military commander and led wars with the Hittites in Syria and Palestine, although it is likely that he did not participate in actual battles. The main commander was the general Horenheb. It had launched an offensive against the Hittites in Syria and had won several battles. The Hittites had previously seized many territories in Syria and even entered Palestine because of Ekhatun's laissez-faire approach to diplomacy.
