 In the 14th century BC, pharaoh Echnathon ruled with his mysterious, beautiful queen Nofretete from Amarna, his new capital build in the desert and abandoned immediately after his reign, like his new, monotheistic religion, which made the royal couple sole mediator with the gods, eliminating the mighty priesthood. Legends and monuments exalted her happiness and rise to unprecedented  co-regentship , even in military success. She disappeared even during his reign, but how? Now archaeologists try to prove if hers is one of the clearly royal mummies found in Luxor s Valley of the Kings, which are diagnosed by computer-tomography (CT). All other indications fit, but the severed arm in scepter-holding position is not her previously presumed mummy s. Then another Luxor grave near Tuth s is found to hold a perfectly fitting sarcophagus, only the cartouche is removed, which would fit young successor Tuth s restoration; CT proves it s not Nofretete, but probably a close relative, apparently Echnathon himself. One of two female mummies with him may well be the queen s; the younger shows a major head wound, apparently incurred during her life, perhaps even murder- it may be another wife of Echnothon s, Kia, perhaps Tuth s mother, disappeared shortly after his birth, perhaps murdered as a rival by Nofretete, who could be the elder mummy, but comparison with preserved hair proves it s not her, but Tuth s grandmother, Echnathon s mother-in-law, presumed to have opposed his religious revolution. In the wadi of the abandoned capital Amarna, fragments of royal sarcophagi indicate the mummies -none are there- were later re-interred in Luxor.
