List of Egyptian mummies (royalty)

For a list of Egyptian mummies that are not royalty, see List of Egyptian mummies (officials, nobles, and commoners).

The following is a list of mummies that include Egyptian pharaohs and their named mummified family members.^[a] Some of these mummies have been found to be remarkably intact, while others have been damaged from tomb robbers and environmental conditions (with some only having small fragments representing the mummy as a result). It was not until Pharaoh Den of the first dynasty that things such as a staircase and architectural elements were added which provided better protection from the elements.^[1]

This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by adding missing items with reliable sources.

	Ahmose I	Amasis	1525 1525 BC	18th	Male	1881 1881	Ahmose I's mummy was discovered in 1881 within the Deir el-Bahri Cache. His name was later found written in hieroglyphs when the mummy was unwrapped. His body bears signs of having been plundered by ancient grave-robbers as the head is broken off from his body and his nose smashed.[6]
	Ahmose-Henutemipet	—	Un­known	17th/18th	Female	1881 1881	Ahmose-Henutemipet was found in 1881 entombed in DB320. Her remains were found badly damaged, likely by tomb robbers.

An examination of her mummy shows that she suffered a head wound prior to her death which was the possible result of falling backwards.[7] CT scanning in 2020 estimated her to be in her 50s at death. She had extensively hardened arteries (atherosclerosis) and is suggested to have died of a heart attack. Her unusual pose is likely the position she died in and was mummified in it due to the onset of rigor mortis.[8]
	Ahmose-Meritamun	Ahmose-Meritamon	Un­known	18th	Female	1930 1930	Her mummy was found carefully rewrapped, which was determined to have occurred during the reign of Pinedjem I.

Her mummy was unwrapped by Gaston Maspero on June 19, 1886 where it was found to be damaged by tomb robbers. Sitkamose was about thirty years old when she died, Grafton Eliot Smith described her as a strong-built, almost masculine woman.[10]
—	Ahmose-Tumerisy	—	Un­known	17th	Female	Un­known	Ahmose-Tumerisy was an ancient Egyptian princess of the late 17th Dynasty. Since her titles were "King's Daughter" and "King's Sister", it is likely that she was a daughter of pharaoh Seqenenre Tao and a sister of pharaoh Ahmose I. Her name is known from her coffin, which is now in the Hermitage Museum. Her mummy was found in the pit MMA 1019 in Sheikh Abd el-Qurna.[11]
—	Amenemhat III	Amenemhet III, Ammenemes III	Un­known	12th	Male	1888 1888	Only fragments of burnt human remains were found in the looted burial chamber of the Pyramid of Amenemhat III at Hawara. These were examined by Flinders Petrie, who confirmed their owner.[12]

	Amenemope	Usermaatre Amenemope	0992 992 or 984 BC	21st	Male	1946 1946	While the tomb was discovered in 1940, his mummy was not found until the end of World War II. The mummy was found with various jewelry and two funerary masks which are now all displayed at the Cairo Museum.
—	Amenemopet	—	Un­known	18th	Female	1857 1857	The mummy of Amenemopet was buried in the Sheikh Abd el-Qurna cache where it was discovered in 1857.
	Amenhotep I	Amenophis I	1506 1506 or 1504 BC	18th	Male	Un­known	His mummy was moved sometime in the 20th or 21st Dynasty for safety, probably more than once. The mummy of Amenhotep I features an exquisite face mask which has caused his body not to be unwrapped by Egyptologists.
	Amenhotep II	Amenophis II	1401 1401 or 1397 BC	18th	Male	1898 1898	Amenhotep was found to bear a strong facial resemblance to his son, Thutmose IV. The wavy brown hair present on his head is "abundantly interspersed with white."[17] It's estimated that he was forty to fifty at the time of death based on his worn teeth and greying hair.[17]
	Amenhotep III	Amāna-Ḥātpa	1353 1353 or 1351 BC	18th	Male	1898 1898	Amenhotep's mummy shows an unusually heavy use of subcutaneous stuffing (for the period) to make the mummy look more lifelike.[18]

His sarcophagus contained the corrected nomen of this king as well as his prenomen, Sekhemre-Heruhirmaat, "which was added in ink on the chest of the coffin."[24]
	Kamose	—	1550 1550 BC	17th	Male	1857 1857	In 1857, the mummy of Kamose was discovered seemingly deliberately hidden in a pile of debris. Egyptologists Auguste Mariette, and Heinrich Brugsch noted that the mummy was in very poor shape. The name of the pharaoh inscribed on the coffin was only recognized fifty years after the original discovery, by which time the mummy, which had been left with the pile of debris on which it was found, was almost certainly long lost.
—	Mayet	Miit	2010 2010 BC	11th	Female	1921 1921	Mayet's position within the royal family of Mentuhotep II is disputed.[25] It is generally assumed that she was a daughter of the king as she was about five years old when she died.

Her mummy was reburied in the Sheikh Abd el-Qurna cache along with that of several other princesses: her probable sisters Amenemopet and Tiaa; her niece Nebetia and Princesses Tatau, Henutiunu, Merytptah, Sithori and Wiay.
	Psusennes I	Pasibkhanu	1001 1001 BC	21st	Male	1940 1940	While his intact tomb was discovered in 1940, his mummy was not found until the end of World War II. The mummy was found with various jewelry, a silver coffin and afunerary mask which are now all displayed at the Cairo Museum.
—	Psusennes II	Pasibkhanu II	943 943 BC	21st	Male	1940 1940	Mummy found in the tomb of Psusennes I 1940. His mummy show signs of water damage, meaning that original tomb may have been inundated by the Nile which compelled a reburial of this king in Psusennes I's tomb.[31]

—	Senebkay	Woseribre Senebkay	1650 BC	16th[b]	Male	2014 2014	The skeleton of Senebkay shows he was around 5 feet 10 inches (1.78 metres) tall and that he died at the age of 35 to 40 from multiple wounds, most likely sustained in battle.[34][35]
—	Senusret II	Sesostris II	1878 BC	12th	Male	1890 1890	Fragments of human remains were found in the looted burial chamber of the Pyramid of Senusret II and examined by Flinders Petrie. All that remains of Senusret's mummy are his leg bones.[36]
	Seqenenre Tao	• Seqenera Djehuty-aa,  • Sekenenra Taa	Un­known	17th	Male	1881 1881	In 2021, a CT scan of his mummy revealed that he died in his forties, possibly on a battlefield, while his deformed hands imply that he was possibly imprisoned with his hands tied.[37] A reconstruction of his death suggests that Seqenenre was executed by the Hyksos king Apepi.[38]

Disputed

The following entries are either previously identified mummies that are now in dispute or mummies whose identity is still in dispute. Over time through the advance in technology, new information comes to light that discredits old findings and beliefs. The mummies that have been lost or destroyed since initial discovery may never be properly identified.

Image	Assumed name(s)	Alias	Dynasty	Sex	Year discovered	Description
	Ahmose-Nefertari	—	18th	Female	1881 1881	Ahmose-Nefertari is assumed to have been retrieved from her tomb at the end of the New Kingdom and moved to the royal cache in DB320. Her presumed body, with no identification marks, was discovered in the 19th century and unwrapped in 1885 by Emile Brugsch but this identification has been challenged.[50] When the mummy was found it emitted such a bad odor that it was reburied on museum grounds in Cairo until the offensive smell abated. If this is Ahmose-Nefertari, then she was determined to have died in her 70s. The mummy's hair had been thinning and plaits of false hair had been woven in with its own to cover this up. The body also had been damaged in antiquity and was missing its right hand.[51] Despite the disputed attribution, the mummy was included in the 2021 Pharaohs' Golden Parade.
	Ahmose Sapair	—	18th	Male	1881 1881	In 1881, a mummy of a 5- to 6-year-old boy was found in cache (DB320) and identified as Ahmose-Sipair. This was disputed as Prince Ahmose-Sipair is always portrayed as an adult on the coffin of the scribe and other antiquities, thus the child-mummy cannot be his.[52]
	Akhenaten or Smenkhkare	KV55 mummy	18th	Male	1907 1907	Uncertainty remains over the identity of this mummy as the young age at death is inconsistent with Akhenaten's reign. CT scans done in 2010 strongly suggest that the mummy may be Pharaoh Smenkhkare.
—	Ankhesenamun	KV21A	18th	Female	1817 1817	Assumed to be Ankhesenamun, as she is the mother of the two fetuses found in Tutankhamun's tomb. Uncertainty remains if the mummy found in KV55 is accepted to be Akhenaten. She is also known as mummy KV21A, after the tomb that she was discovered in.
	Hatshepsut	KV60A	18th	Female	1903 1903	In 1903, Howard Carter had discovered tomb KV60 in the Valley of the Kings. It contained two female mummies: one identified as Hatshepsut's wet nurse and the other unidentified. The latter of the two (KV60A), was removed from the tomb in 2007 and identified as Hatshepsut by inspecting the mouth. These results have since been disputed from a 2011 study which cited a misplaced molar.
	Beketaten, Nebetah or Nefertiti	The Younger Lady	18th	Female	1898 1898	This mummy was found lying in a side chamber of KV35. The body was extensively damaged by past tomb robbers which caused numerous holes. Early speculation was that the mummy belonged to Queen Nefertiti. DNA testing published in 2010 revealed The Younger Lady is a daughter of Pharaoh Amenhotep III and his chief wife Tiye and the mother of Tutankhamun. This report concluded that the mummy is likely Beketaten, or Nebetah.[53] Despite the DNA results, Egyptologists such as Marc Gabolde and Aidan Dodson support the identification of this body as that of Nefertiti.[54][55]
	Merenre Nemtyemsaf I	—	6th	Male	1881 1881	A mummy was uncovered in 1881 by Émile and Heinrich Karl Brugsch in the black basalt sarcophagus of the burial chamber of the Pyramid of Merenre. The mummy is that of a 1.66 m (5.4 ft)-tall man, already in a poor condition at discovery as ancient tomb robbers had partially torn off its wrappings. The Brugsch brothers further damaged the mummy while transporting it back to Cairo. Preliminary forensic analyses indicated that it belonged to a young man, with possible traces of his sidelock of youth still visible at the time of discovery. The identity of the mummy remains uncertain as Grafton Elliot Smith, who performed these analyses, observed that the technique employed for the wrapping was typical of the 18th Dynasty rather than the 6th. Re-wrapping of older mummies are known to have occurred, even during the New Kingdom, so that this observation does not necessarily preclude that the mummy be that of Merenre. The mummy has not been studied since and its identification remains uncertain.
	Sanakht	—	3rd	Male	1901 1901	A mummy was uncovered in 1881 by John Garstang in the large mastaba K2 at Beit Khallaf. The mummy was over 1.87 m (6 ft 1+1⁄2 in) tall, which is considerably taller than the 1.67 m (5 ft 6 in) average of prehistoric and later Egyptians. The specimen's skull was very large and capacious. Although his cranial index was unusually broad and almost brachycephalic, the proportions of his long bones were tropically adapted like those of most other ancient Egyptians; especially those from the predynastic period. His overall cranial features, however, were closer to those of dynastic period Egyptian skulls.[56] It was long thought that the mummy inside mastaba K2 at Beit Khallaf was Sanakht's, as excavations there yielded relief fragments bearing his name. However, some Egyptologists now regard this mastaba as the burial of a high official, prince or queen rather than that of a pharaoh,[57] while others continue to support the first hypothesis.[58]
	Setnakhte	The mummy in the boat	20th	Male	1898 1898	The alleged mummy of Setnakhte has never been identified with certainty, although the so–called "mummy in the boat" found in KV35 was sometimes identified with him, an attribution rejected by Aidan Dodson who rather believes the body belonged to a royal family member of Amenhotep II of the 18th Dynasty. In any case the mummy was destroyed by looters in 1901, thus preventing any analysis on it.[59]
—	Sneferu	—	4th	Male	1950 1950	Fragments of human remains and wrappings were found in the burial chamber of the Red Pyramid and examined by Dr. Ahmed Mahmud el Batrawi. The remains belonged to a middle-aged man and the wrappings were consistent with Old Kingdom mummification techniques. It is uncertain if these remains belong to Sneferu.[60][61]
	Tetisheri	Unknown woman B	17th/18th	Female	1881 1881	No tomb has yet been conclusively identified with Queen Tetisheri, though a mummy that may be hers was included among other members of the royal family that were reburied in the Royal Cache.
	Thutmose I or Ahmose Sapair[62][63]	—	18th	Male	1881 1881	Egyptologist Gaston Maspero thought this was the mummy of Thutmose I largely on the strength of familial resemblance to the mummies of Thutmose II and Thutmose III. In 2007 though, Dr. Zahi Hawass announced that the mummy is a thirty-year-old man who had died as a result of an arrow wound to the chest. Due to the young age of the mummy and the cause of death, it was determined that the mummy was probably not of Thutmose I and the mummy could actually be Ahmose Sapair.[63][62][64] Despite this, the mummy was included in the 2021 Pharaohs' Golden Parade.
	Unknown	Qurna Queen	17th	Female	1908 1908	The quality of the Qurna Queen's burial goods and the location of her grave near the valley of the kings have lead researchers to conclude that she was a senior member of the royal family.[65] Damage to her coffin means her name is lost.[65]

Notes

1. Mummies have been found by archaeologists whom have determined their royal status, but have not been able to provide any real conclusive name. These are usually given informal numbers based on their tomb locations (ex: KV##A (Valley of the Kings) and QV##A (Valley of the Queens). These nameless individuals are not listed here as not enough given information is available.
2. Senebkay could have ruled over the hypothesized Abydos Dynasty.
