This was a Theban Dynasty which continued the culture of the Middle Kingdom. It coexisted with the 15th Dynasty until Seqenenre Tao began to fight against the Hyksos. Kamose, the son of Seqenenre Tao, eventually drove out the Hyksos which marks the end of the 17th Dynasty. Kamose's younger brother, Ahmose I, becomes King of Upper and Lower Egypt and begins the 18th Dynasty, the New Kingdom.

More recent reports indicate that Dr. Hawass was wrong--that the "Younger Lady" was indeed a "lady" and not a male! And also it has been proven thru DNA testing that the "Elder Lady" is Queen Tiye, Tut's grandmother.

Not only was the "Younger Lady" a female, she was royal and DNA tests have proven that she was the biological mother of Tut!

The only question now is: Just who was she--besides being the mother of Tutankhamen? The two likeliest candidates (according to scholars) are Nefertiti and a lesser queen of Akhenaten's, Queen Kiya.

So I'm betting the "Younger Lady" is either Dr. Fletcher's Nefertiti--or Kiya.

P.S. Sorry--somehow I missed the second page here and I see I am repeating what some others have already said. My apologies--not even my new glasses can help these old eyes lol!

I think so, she must be either Kiya or Nefertiti.
Posibly in the future the cience advances to discover these wonderful misterys of the Ancient Egypt History

According to the September 2010 National Geographic article on Tut's DNA, the 'younger lady' mummy found with Queen Tiye in KV35 was shown to be Tut's mother but also shown to be a genetic sister to Akhenaten. I do not believe there is any evidence to date that Nefertiti or Kiya was a sibling of Akhenaten, so this might rule them out as Tut's mother--but I also am not aware that the Pharoah's sister/s' names are known either, so the greater mystery (who was Mum) apparently remains for now.
Does anyone know if Joanne Fletcher has commented on this DNA conclusion??

The mummy is Nebetah one of Queen Tiye's daughters whom to everyone surprise is Nefertiti.
