Ankhesenpaaten's Genealogy The extended family tree of Ankhesenpaaten is often very confusing and historically problematical. Some familial relationships are known to be factual, while others are suppositions at best. I will offer here these relationships as I understand (and sometimes guess) them to be vis-a-vis Ankhesenpaaten. Males / Females / m = marriage / non-royal / (Heiress) Paternal Great Grandparents: Pharaoh Tuthmosis IV and (secondary Wife) Queen Mutemwiya. Their offspring were sons Amenhotep III and Tuthmosis. Maternal Great Grandparents: Yuya and Tuya (both non-royal). Yuya has been sometimes characterized as a foreigner because of his unusual name, but I disagree with this. He was nonroyal, but held high religious post and was Commander of the King's horses, chariots, and stables. Tuya apparently was head of Amun's harem in Thebes and head of Min's harem in their home city of Akhmin. It is thought that Tuya was a sister of Queen Mutemwiya, and therefore a decendent of Queen Aahmose-Nefertari, the ancestor of all Tuthmosid Queens. The offspring of Yuya and Tuya were sons Anen and Ay, and a daughter Tiy. Pharaoh Amenhotep III --m-- Tiy (non-royal) Paternal Grandparents: Pharaoh Amenhotep III and Queen Tiy. Their offspring were sons.... Tuthmosis (died at an early age) Siatum (?) Amenhotep IV (Akhenaten). They had six daughters... Sitamun, Hentymerheb, Hentaneb, Isis, Nebetah, and Bakytaten. Maternal Grandparents: Ay and (unknown Heiress) + Tey (non-royal). Ay held the same initial position as Yuya and is therefore thought to be the son of Yuya and Tuya and a brother of Tiy. Ay had a first wife (unknown Heiress) and their offspring was a daughter Nefertiti. Ay remarried (Tey) and their offspring was a daughter Mutnodjmet. Tey is known to have been the wetnurse of Nefertiti. Pharaoh Amenhotep IV --m-- Nefertiti (Heiress) Parents: Pharaoh Amenhotep IV and Queen Nefertiti. Offspring was six daughters... Merytaten (Heiress), Mekytaten, Ankhesenpaaten (Heiress), Neferneferuaten ta-sherit, Neferneferure, and Setepenre. For a possible genealogy map of the XVIIIth Dynasty click here
