Tutankhamun

The boy-pharaoh, son of Akhenaten (KV55 DNA paternity, Hawass et al. 2010). Born Tutankhaten during the Aten revolution; restored the cult of Amun, changed his name to Tutankhamun, and married his half-sister Ankhesenamun. Died in his late teens c. 1323 BCE; his near-intact tomb (KV62), found by Howard Carter in 1922, made him the most famous pharaoh. Authored as mortal (a historical 18th-Dynasty royal, per the historical-human rule), matching the corpus's treatment of Nefertiti and Tiye. His mother is the KV35 'Younger Lady', a sister of Akhenaten not registered in the corpus and not Nefertiti, so only the paternal edge is wired.
