Ankhesenamun was a prominent queen during the 18th Dynasty of Egypt, known for her significant role as the Great Royal Wife of Pharaoh Tutankhamun. She navigated the changing landscape of ancient Egyptian religion following her father’s death. Speculation around her marital history includes a possible brief union with Tutankhamun’s successor, Ay. Recent DNA testing on mummies from KV21 has fueled theories that Ankhesenamun may be one of the late 18th Dynasty queens buried in that tomb, further solidifying her legacy within the ruling house.
