Appearances
We're just getting a flavour of that between you and Aidan.
Yeah.
hotly contested in the pages of journals the identity of Tutankhamen's parents.
So as you said in your introduction, he is extremely famous.
He's probably the most famous of Egyptian kings, but we assume based on
relatively few bits of evidence, that his father is a chap called Akhenaten.
Who we've been dwelling on at some length in this series.
Yes, but while I would say that's fairly assured, the identity of his mother is not.
And as we'll say, even doing DNA tests, because there are lots of bodies around, actual bodies, not just historical inscriptions.
Even with the bodies, we're not quite sure.
So probably the son of Akhenaten, a big religious reformer.
An unknown woman.
Yes, exactly.
His chief wife, Nefertiti, who listeners will have heard of, no doubt, her bust is in Berlin.
She seems to be his favoured wife.
I mean, she appears in almost all the monuments.
But as you say, the king of Egypt had multiple sexual partners.
Irresistible.
Irresistible to say that.
Short answer, no, because DNA degrades with time.
