As far as I remember I was in the main/front hall of the Egyptiam museum at very nearly the time our bus was leaving when I saw a large statue of Smenkhare- but this was not the Amarna pharoh - I think he was middle Kingdom . Did I realy see him or is my mind playing tricks. I treid looking on the web but if there are any references they are swamped by the Amarna one.

I think the Amarna king usually went by the name Ankhkheperure and the art style should be rather radically different.

And it seems that the glyphs are somewhat different as well:

The 13th dynasty Smenkhare

The 18th dynasty Smenkhare Djeserkheperu
