Mummy 61074: A Strange Case of Mistaken Identity (in English) by Shawn McAVOY (Arizona State University-USA). Priests of the Twenty-first Dynasty king Smendes I (1070-1043 BCE) had the unenviable task of quickly reburying the kings of the New Kingdom after the Valley of the Kings repeatedly had proven insecure as a final resting place. In the process of reburial these priests identified the mummies of the kings as quickly and as accurately as they could, but reasons exist to question some of their identifications. Mummy 61074, in the Cairo Museum, currently carries the identification of Amunhotep III (1386-1349 BCE). This paper examines Mummy 61074 and with the aid of xray and serological evidence proposes that 61074 is not Amunhotep III but his son Akhenaten.
