With 83 comments (and counting!) on the latest post about Tutankhamun DNA analysis, you might have missed a link to an article Marianne Luban wrote some time ago. This is what Marianne had to say about it in the comment she left:
As Marriane says, it was written before the DNA testing which showed pretty conclusively that The Elder Lady and Queen Tiye are one and the same, but that just adds to the article. If you haven't been following the discussion on the post about Tutankhamun DNA analysis then it really is worth reading them through as there is some excellent debate. The comments also have more commentary from Marianne on her old article.
The "wayback machine" saved an old article of mine, written years ago, called "Queen Tiye and the Co-regency", which discusses what the archaeological record indicates about a possible co-regency between Akhenaten and Amenhotep III. The age-at-death of the mummy called the "Elder Lady" was an important consideration, even though at this time DNA had not confirmed her identity. For anyone interested in the possibility of a co-regency, the article is here:
