In archeology, we're rarely completely sure of anything, so understand that this is very uncertain, but the mummy described on Zahi Hawass' site in this article seems promising.
Okay, if your Egyptian history is rusty Akhenaten was the pharoah who made a law that nobody could worship any gods other then Aten, a form of the sun god. He created a new capital at Amarna and started a new, naturalistic style of art. Needless to say, his law didn't go over big with the common people, who often had household gods and he wasn't very popular.

i thought they already found his mummy a while back- as well as the mummies of his wife, parents, and children.
wasn't Tut his kid? i say we get Daniel Jackson to investigate this so we can confirm that Ankenaten was, indeed, a member of the Tok'Ra. and i don't suppose you have one of those interweb linky thingies where one can go to see what you are talking about, do you?

Tutenkhamun is believed to have most likely been Akhenaten's son (there are a few other possibilities, as there are uncertainties in Akhenaten's family tree; for instance, Tut was not Akhenaten's immediate successor). However, the two were not buried together. When Akhenaten died, he was subjected to a damnatio memoriae; artwork representing him was defaced, and his name was erased from the records. It's not likely that his mummy would have been treated with much respect.
