Comments
This Trumpeter Finch sits just near the entrance of Toomb 55, situated in front of that of Tut Ankh Amon and one of the most mysterious toombs of the Valley of Kings. Click on the hyperlink detailing the DNA analysis which showed that the mummy of this toomb belonged to a close, male relative of Tut Ankh Amon, i.e., his father Akhenaten.
