[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jim Stinehart: [QB] The blood tests indicate that Smenkhkare and Tut were close enough by blood to be full-brothers, or the equivalent. So if Queen Tiye is Smenkhkare's birth mother, then outsider Kiya cannot be Tut's birth mother. No, you've got to go whole hog and posit Kiya as being the birth mother of both Smenkhkare and Tut, in order to fit the blood tests. Since Smenkhkare is about 15 years older than Tut, it is very hard for those two guys to have the same birth mothers. It is much more likely, given their ages and the blood test, that the birth mother of Tut is a daughter of the birth mother of Smenkhkare. That is the only way to make the mothers' ages at childbirth fit comfortably, while matching the blood tests. If Kiya is from the Hurrian state on the upper Euphrates River, which is very likely, then Kiya's blood would be totally different than that of Queen Tiye. Moreover, Smenkhkare is born before Kiya gets to Egypt. And Tut is born right at the time Kiya gets to Egypt, if not slightly before Kiya arrives. But Kiya's first child, once she finally gets to Egypt about Year 10 of Akhenaten's reign, is a girl. So the timing just will not work for Kiya to be the birth mother of either Smenkhkare or Tut. Plus, if Kiya is a harem wife, why on earth would Queen Tiye have had warm feelings for Tut? Why would there be a locket of Queen Tiye's hair in Tut's tomb? And it certainly appears that Akhenaten gouged out Kiya's eyes in virtually all of her imagery. Yet Tut loved Akhenaten, and insisted on being buried wearing Akhenaten's skullcap. The wine docket indicates that Kiya was still alive in Year 16. But by then, the Maruaten, the small chapel, and most everything else formerly owned by Kiya had been given to Meritaten or Ankhsenpaaten. The objective evidence indicates that Kiya was thoroughly disgraced during her lifetime by Akhenaten. Yet Tut was very close to Akhenaten, with many things from Smenkhkare and Akhenaten's daughters being in Tut's tomb. There is simply no way that Kiya can be Tut's birth mother. Or Smenkhkare's birth mother. Kiya bore only one child, a daughter, and was a very minor figure at Amarna. Kiya was terribly disgraced by Akhenaten during her lifetime. The facts are the facts.
