Petrie relief may not be the Sitamun mentioned in this article

[edit]

There is doubt that this relief which was found in the mortuary temple of Amenhotep II is actually the princess-queen discussed here. Johnson mentions in Amenhotep III: Perspectives on His Reign (edited by David O'Connor) that the style of the relief suggests a date before the reign of Amenhotep III. It has been suggested by Farsen that Amenhotep III may have usurped the image for his daughter. From Die verstärkten Beziehungen zwischen Ägypten und der Ägäis unter Amenophis III by Patrick Farsen and referring to an article by J Samson from 1972. This should probably be mentioned in the article if the relief is used as an illustration? --AB (talk) 11:46, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Amenhotep I?

[edit]

Betsy M. Bryan in the Oxford History of Ancient Egypt mentions that Satamun is the daughter of Amenhotep I (Pg 230). However this article lists Amenhotep III as her father. JanderVK (talk) 21:23, 20 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
