Hi:

You might find it interesting to take a look at a recently available book, The Complete Tutankhamun by Nicholas Reeves, published by Thames and Hudson. This work is a new and updated edition of his earlier publication with the same title. You should take a look at it, especially pp. 83, 96-97, and 461, where the author provides some information on the family and individuals you are interested in.

Sincerely,
David Silverman
Eckley B. Coxe, Jr. Curator-in-Charge
Egyptian Collection, Penn Museum

On July 25, 1989, I met and had tea with Hussein Abdel-Rassoul. The formerly unnamed Egyptian is now credited with finding King Tut’s tomb.
