EGYPTIAN CHRONOLOGY THROUGH ASTRONOMICALLY DATED SYNCHRONISMS by Gerard Gertoux

Akhenaten died after 6 years of reign, or 17 years from his co-regency, and as he had no son his brother Semenkhkare succeeded him59 but died around 1338 BCE after a reign of 1 year and 4 months. His widow Meritaten then reigned 2 years and 1 month on behalf of her husband (as Hatshepsut had done after her husband's death), first under the feminine name Ankh[et]kheperure then under Ankhkheperure the same name but in the masculine. The precision transmitted by Josephus: “Akencheris, daughter of Orus [Akhenaten], reigned [1]2 years and 1 month” proves accurate because Semenkhkare appears married to Meritaten, a daughter of Akhenaten, on an anonymous stela (Aegyptisches Berlin museum 15000).

In fact, Ankhkheperure died around 1336 BCE, after 2 years and 1 month of reign, and having no heir the last son of Amenhotep III, the young Tutankhamun, aged around 10, became a new pharaoh.

...Semenkhkare, his brother, had to succeed him for a short reign of about 1 year and 4 months. On Semenkhkare's death, Meritaten his widow continued the reign of her husband (for 2 years 1 month) under the name Ankhkheperure (Aldred: 1988, 160-161, 284-296), a female name which was then masculinized60 (Bovot: 2005, 183-224; Gabolde: 2005, 273-286).
