   If it matters, I always identified the famous "Younger Lady" in   
   KV 35...   
      
   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Younger_Lady   
      
   ...as Tut's sister and surviving wife:   
      
   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ankhesenamun   
      
   It would only make sense that Aye would have her murdered   
   once he crowned himself king.   
      
   Whatever the case, two of the mummies in KV 35 are unquestionably   
   tied to the Amarna Period, so, stretching things further, why not the   
   third?   
      
   Smenkhkare?
