[QUOTE]Originally posted by Kalonji: [QB] [QUOTE] Originally posted by Djehuty: Getting back to the topic... It's been stated that the geneticists used nuclear DNA to establish familial relationships. So who have they identified as Akhenaton? [/QUOTE]No one. Altough they suspect that KV55 is Akhenaten. [QUOTE] Previously, speculations about Tutankhamun's parents were abundant because of the piecemeal evidence available before DNA testing. Tutankhamun had been thought to be the son of his grandparents, Amenhotep III and his Great Royal Wife Queen Tiye. Others claimed that he may have been a son of Amenhotep III, although not by Queen Tiye since she would have been around 50 at the time of his birth. Professor James Allen argued that Tutankhamun was more likely to be a son of the short-lived king Smenkhkare rather than Akhenaten.[11][12] [/QUOTE]^If they didn't know the specific name of Tuts father before the 2010 DNA study, they still don't know it now. The only thing they DO know, and what was indeed revealed by the tests, is that KV55 was Tuts father. There is all sorts of back and forth arguing going on about whether or not KV55 is skeletally old enough to be Akhenaton and there is no conclusive evidence.

Now we know why. Kalonji [/QB][/QUOTE]
