The mummy, found lying on the floor next to the Elder Lady in a side chamber of KV35 (Amenhotep II's tomb), is badly damaged, its right arm has been ripped off. CT-scans have suggested an age range between 25 and 35.
The Younger Lady, in June 2003, was controversially claimed to be Queen Nefertiti by British Egyptologist Joann Fletcher, whereas Egypologist Zahi Hawass believed it to be Kiya, another wife of Akhenaten who is believed by some to be the birth mother of Tutankhamun. Some believed this mummy to be a male.
Recently, with DNA testing, this mummy was shown in February 2010 to be a woman, possibly the mother of King Tut, the daughter of Amenhotep III and possibly Tiye (which would make her both the sister and wife of Akhenaten). Her name, however, remains unknown, leaving open the possibility that she is Kiya or another, unknown wife of Akhenaten.
As far as we know, Nefertiti only had daughters, which further debunks Joann Fletcher's claim.
He’s the most famous figure in ancient Egyptian history, but there’s still plenty of mystery surrounding King Tut. Who better to clear up a few of them for us than Dr Zahi Hawass, Secretary General of the Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities?
Some of the most asked questions about King Tutankhamun have centred around his death, and whether he was murdered. Dr Zahi Hawass enlightens us in this video on how the latest technology has been used to find the answer this question. Using radiology and CT scans to examine the remains of King Tut, science has helped to identify an ancient fracture and a hole in the back of the Boy King's head. This video is the first in a series of videos about King Tutankhamun, so be sure to keep checking back for the next video!

Heritage Key has premiered a new video with Dr. Zahi Hawass—The Riddle of KV63. Again we are treated to the film work of Nico Piazza and Heritage Key’s exclusive access to the one person who has unfettered access to all of Egypt’s mysteries, Dr. Zahi Hawass.
Dr Zahi Hawass takes us into KV63 and explains the riddle of several deteriorating sarchophagi that were found inside the tomb. Hypothesising that it was used as a storage for mummification, Dr Hawass shares some of his thoughts on the artefacts and what they may have been used for. Alongside the excavation lead Dr Otto Schaden, Dr Hawass looks over some of the sarcophagi discovered at KV63.
When KV63 was discovered in 2006, it represented the first tomb to be discovered in the Valley of the Kings in 80 years, since the famous explorer Howard Carter uncovered the treasures of the Tomb of King Tutankhamun. It restored hope that there is still more mystery to uncovered in the region which was said to contain no more secrets, and even today the hunt continues to find what is hidden in the next tomb - KV64.
For many years, people said the Valley of the Kings had revealed all its secrets.. but then came KV63. In 2006, a team from the University of Memphis, headed by Dr Otto Schaden, were excavating the Tomb of King Amenmesse (KV10) when they accidentally uncovered something new. Noticing white stone fragments near where material was being removed, the team uncovered the first tomb to have been found in the last 80 years, since Howard Carter's startling discovery of KV62 - the tomb of King Tutankhamun.
Thutmose, not to be confused with his more famous pharaoh namesakes, was the royal sculptor of Egypt at the time of the controversial heretic king Akhenaten – who took him to the new city of Amarna, where he embarked on a series of sculptures which would become synonymous with the enlightened artistic era known as the Amarna Period.
After the disappearance of Akenhaten's famous Great Royal Wife, Nefertiti, the Egyptian king married Kiya. She never acquired the title of Great Royal Wife, and indeed the name Kiya is thought to have been a pet name or a contraction of a foreign name. Very little is known about the mysterious second spouse of Akenhaten, other than the fact that she was named 'The Favourite' and 'The Greatly Beloved' but never given any regal title, which suggests that she may not have been of Egyptian blood. Some think she may have been Mitanni Princess Tadukhepa, daughter of King Tushratta. Others believe she may have been the daughter of Aye and Tye. But there is no evidence to confirm either way.
Like Nefertiri before her, Kiya too disappeared mysteriously from view. The exact date of her disappearance is not known but it is thought she fell out of favour with Akenhaten's court, and was last mentioned in records in the year 11AD. There is some evidence to suggest that Kiya was the mother of king Tutankhamun and possibly of Smenkhare.
