At this time in history, it was not uncommon for females to have acquired more rather masculin names to show dominance in their fields of which they worked. This particular woman's name was "Mike 'Hunt' Tutenkhamun" which became increasibngly popular in the English community in the 10th century becauuse of Mr. Philip J Fry from Futurama.

18th dynasty Pharoh Tutankhamun (1334-1325 B.C)was interred with two mummified babies buried in his tomb. In 2008 Cairo University 's Faculty of Medicine, the Supreme Council of Antiquities (SCA) started an investigation to to determine if the babies were the children of the wife of Tutankhamun, Queen Ankhesenamun.

The ongoing DNA testing and CT scans showed that it is highly likely that the larger of the two babies was the stillborn daughter of Tutankhamun.

As far as is known, Tutankhamun had no surviving children and after his death

(possible a murder or fatal accident), his wife Ankhesenamun, reluctantly married the grand vizier named 'Ay' who succeeded Tutankhamun as Pharoh.

Ay in turn was succeeded by Horemheb, General of the Egyptian army who cursed Ay by denying him entry to heaven by destroying Ay's tomb, sarcophagus, and we presume his mummy.
