Ankhesenpaaten Tasherit (or Ankhesenpaaten-ta-sherit) was the daughter of Ankhesenamun or Kiya and probably the Pharaoh Akhenaten, father and husband of Ankhesenamun.[1] (It is also possible that her father was Pharaoh Smenkhkare, who was co-ruler with Akhenaten and was probably his brother or son.)[citation needed] The mention to Aten in her name sugests that she is indeed a daughter of Akhenaton, since his successors reverted his religious reforms, as well as their names back to the mention of the old Gods, and its maintenance without change suggest that she died before that period.
Her name means "Ankhesenpaaten the Younger". Since there were at least two other princesses with names ending in "Tasherit" (younger or little one), it seems there was a shortage of approved names in the royal court (most of the usual Egyptian names contained the name of a god, and during Akhenaten's reign the cults of all gods but Aten were forbidden.)
Ankhesenpaaten Tasherit was born in the last year of Akhenaten's reign and her existence is an important clue in determining how long Akhenaten ruled. Since Ankhesenamun was born around the 5th year of her father's reign, the earliest year she could have had a child was around Year 17 of his reign, when she was 12 years old.
Ankhesenpaaten Tasherit has been known to archaeologists since 1938, when a talatat with her picture and name was found in Hermopolis.
