Well, I am doing one but I actually think it will end long before Tut! I am on page seventy something and Amenhotep is still sole ruler, not even had his first heb sed yet!!! It may end up being just him and Tiy.

Well, though I don't know anything to add, I do share the sentiments of the people who posted. Good luck with this story, and I hope it goes really well!

Ciao Nefetrtiti-tasherit....
unfortunately I am not able to help you, but I can tell you for sure that we still don't know anything about-
- who is Smenkhara and how he died;
-who is the mother of Tut..probably Kyia;
-How Nefertiti died;
-who exactly was mr Ay (father of Nefertiti?);
-the exact role of Horemheb in this story is not clear, only suppositions;
-last, but not least, we don't know how Tut died...
-we don't even know how his wife and half sister Ankhesenamon died and if she actually married Ay;
-another thing which is not clear is the political ideas of Horemheb, at least until he became king. After that he certanly tried to restor the old order in the Kingdom of Khemet.

Other things are just suppositions...there are still a lot of things that we cannot explain or give reason ....which, on the other hand, can be a good basis for a novel.

well, good luck on your book!

Thanks to all of you that replied...

Maatkara - These are actually all the things that I'm basically just making up... I'm going by what tiny facts there are and just building a story that is meant to be intriguing.

Here are my answers:

Smenkhkare is the son of Nefertiti, but not Akhenaten (same with Tut) - this explains why neither are shown with the royal family in the many portraits of them all together...

I wanted Nefertiti as the mother to Tut... mostly just because she is the first main character, and in the story they have many of the same traits anyway

I have Nefertiti intitially getting sick with the plague... then Ay and Horemheb working together to poison her... there is lots of evidence that Akhenaten loved Nefertiti very very much and is very weak due to his illness, so I have them counting on it destroying Akhenaten and throwing suspicion off them (this is also before either of them know about Tut or Smenkhkare, so they would be much closer to the throne)

I do have Ay as the father of Nefertiti... they are a lot alike in traits except that... well Nefertiti had no initial desire for the throne and has a kind heart (Ay obviously doesn't)

Horemheb I have as just being Ay's wingman basically... he is loyal to the royal family, but Ay really just takes control of him, corrupts him mostly

As the ending of my book, Horemheb leads Tutankhamen out fairly far in the desert where Ay is waiting and they murder him (bash to the head turns out to be fatal)

That being the ending... I have nothing thought up for Horemheb's political views

Again, any ideas, suggestions or constructive criticism (or ANYTHING that cannot be true in the story) I'd love to hear!!
