The book presents the latest research finings and materials on the enigmatic figure of the late Amarna period: Smenkhkare.
It is still disputed today whether Smenkhkare was a young man at Akhenaton's side or Queen Nefertiti, who succeeded her husband with this fictous identity as a male pharaoh.
The identification of the mummy from tomb KV 55 is a crucial element of this Egyptological enigma.
Updated and enlarged edition with new facial reconstructions and pictures.
