One of the great conundrums of Egyptology is the identity of the pharaoh whose skeletal remains were found in Valley of the Kings Tomb 55 in 1907. The two candidates are heretic king Waenre Akhenaten & his brother, coregent & successor, Ankhkheperure Smenkhkare. In order to unravel this mystery, this volume re-examines the discovery & clearance of KV55, popularly known as the "Amarna Cache," one of the most-botched excavations in all of Egyptian archaeology.
