Ankhesenamun – originally Ankhesenpaaton - was the wife and queen of the pharaoh King Tutankhamen, or King Tut. She reigned for ten years (1332-1322 BCE). She was also the third daughter of Akhenaten and Nefertiti. According to some Hittite documents, she had an unprecedented role pertaining to international affairs. In these few documents, it is said that she asked for a Hittite prince for marriage, and that the said prince would eventually ascend to the throne. However, once the Hittite prince was sent, he died en route. However, she also suffered the attempted complete obliteration of her, similar to what happened to Tutankhamen.
