The figure has a wig and a sidelock. In this case the sidelock does not indicate youth, it is a symbol of Ptah. So, why does this figure have a wig if not an adult, and the KV35 prince is certainly not an adult. All artifacts, his cat's sarcohagus etc, associated with crown prince Thutmose come, I believe, from around Memphis, not Thebes. I think he may be a so far undocumented brother of Tutankhamun. When SCA eventually release his DNA and scan results, we will know if this is so or not. Why don't they release these results?. Going against my own idea though, is the position of his hands, right extended, left closed, the same as the mummy of the boy in KV43 who is believed to be crown prince Amenemhat. Is this hand position normal for a crown prince, or just any prince? With only two examples of juvenile princes, I think, how can we ever know.V.A. Kuznetsovnoreply@blogger.com
