Plates XXXVI, XXXVII

Found in tomb KV55, Bibân el-Molouk, Thebes (formerly attributed to Queen Teye or to Semenchkaraw)
There is a continuing discussion as to if this is Echnaton's skull. I suggest that you read Smith's text. Be that as it
may, this is a good example of the detail which can be gained by digital processing prints of old (1912) black and
white photos.
