NEFERNEFRUATON 1335 – 1332 BC. The years after Akhenaton’s death are the object of big and endless discussions. To complicate even more the situation is the Egyptian custom to give the pharaoh two names: a name as a sovereign and his own name. Until a short time ago it was believed that Akhenaton’s successor was a pharaoh named Ankhkheprura whose personal name was Smenkhara. The hypothesis was that he had married Akhenaton’s oldest daughter, Meritaton. IT’s suspected, actually, that there were two successor who ascended to the throne named Ankhkheprura, and that the other pharaoh’s own name was Nefernefruaton: that is the longer version of the name Nefertiti. Did Nefertiti survive and reign for a while as a pharaoh?
