Did Tadukhepa bear any children?

Tadukhepa was the daughter of King Tushratta of Mitanni and Queen Juni. Her aunt, Gilukhepa was married to Amenhotep III. Tadukhepa as a child of about 15 was given to Amenhotep III in marriage as well. After her husband's death, his successor, Akhenaten married her as he was 18 and she was probably 16-19 years of age. It is thought she miscarried several children with Anenhotep III, some archelogists believe Prince Siatum, father of Nebetia was her son by Amenhotep III, rather than his brother by Mutemwiya. With Akhenaten, some say she bore a daughter, Atenmert, however there is no evidence of this and Atenmert's existance is being questioned. Some people say Kiya a concubine of Akhenaten, was Tadukhepa with a changed name as we don't hear of her as Akhenaten's wife, however there is no evidence that proves this theory either. If Tadukhepa was Kiya, she would have beared an unnamed daughter (Kiya-Tasherit or Beketaten) and possibly Smenkhkare (his mother was most likely Nefertiti or another concubine) and Tutankhamun (there is no evidence that Kiya, or Nefertiti was his mother, most likely Meritaten, Beketaten, or some wife of Alhenaten or Amenhotep III. As he stated Amenhotep III was his father). It is most likely Tadukhepa lived peacefully in Akhenaten's harem, and died of old age or died of an early age of a plague or in childbirth. It is possible Tadukhepa's child may have been pictured at Meketaten's funeral, she died before, however there is for now no evidence she did bear any children to either Amenhotep III or Akhenaten, if she did, she either miscarried, or they were stillborn.

Why was Howard Carter's discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb so wonderful?

The Discovery of Tut's tomb was a remarkable discovery for several reasons. First it reawakened a lost history of Egypt's Golden Age and the great Pharoahs of the 18th Dynasty. Secondly, the rediscovery of the 18th Dynasty has led to a new understanding of the Old Testament. It appears that the 18th Dynasty of Pharoahs were the historic persons of Biblical times. Tutmose III; King David. Amenhotep III; King Solomon. Amenhotep IV (Ahkenaton); Moses and finally, the most shocking revelation, Tutankamun (Living Image of Amun); Yay soo (Jesus) the Savior
