*There is little known about Ankhesenamun (meaning “She lives through Amun” or “Living through Amun”) .

She was initially known through her birth name of Ankhesenpaaten (meaning “She lives through the Aten” or “Living through the Aten”) .

in her earlier years of life. Written, throughout history, are variations of her name as this was altered during her marriage to Tutankhamun.

She was approximately thirteen years old when she married Tutankhamun who was most likely her half-brother.

Tutankhamun was probably around eight years old at the time that this marriage occurred. This history timeline is known as the Amarna Period.

The alteration of names for both Tutankhamun and Ankhesenamun occurred as they changed their form of worship from one God to another.

Their reign initially included the worship of the God Aten (known as “The Sun-Disc) and this eventually changed to the worship of the.

God Amun (known as the “The Hidden One”). Sometimes Ankhesenamun is written as Ankhesenamon, Ankhesenamum, and other variations on the name.
