[QUOTE]Originally posted by Kalonji: [QB] [QUOTE] Originally posted by Hammer: There is a series of articles on the National Geo web site. In one of those articles they stated that none of them had Marfan syndrome, nor did they resemble the statues that represented them as feminine. [/QUOTE]The feminine features are not only postulated from his statues, but also in his body, if KV55 is really him of course. There is still doubt because of the young appearance of this skull, it doesn't match with akhenatons long reign. KV55 below [IMG]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b8/KV55_scull.jpg[/IMG] features of KV55: [QUOTE] Later re-examinations of the remains confirmed Smith's original identification of the mummy as belonging to a young male [b](although with feminine trends) [/b] but pushed the estimated age of death back to [b]around 20 years[/b] [/QUOTE]and: [QUOTE] But when anatomist Grafton Elliot Smith examined the skull and bones in Cairo a few months later he concluded that they were those of a young male, [b] with wide hips [/b], [/QUOTE]But also [QUOTE] [b]Reconstruction of the facial features of the skull Kv55 also indicated that there was no resemblance with Akhenaten's representation on his monuments[/b] . It must be remembered though, that Akhenaten's representation's are highly stylised. [/QUOTE]Reconstruction of KV55 [IMG]http://www.heptune.com/reckv55.jpg[/IMG] Seems to me like a far cry from Akh. Whoever he was, he was a son of Amenhotep III and Tiye, that's for sure. Kalonji [/QB][/QUOTE]
