Archaeologists have known that a "mystery female pharaoh" ruled ancient Egypt before the renowned King Tutankhamun ascended the throne. Though they knew the royal name of this queen — Neferneferuaten Ankhkheperure — her true identity has remained elusive.

Now, a researcher says the mystery woman was none other than King Tut's older sister. It's possible that after King Tut's dad, King Akhenaten, died, his youngest surviving daughter, Neferneferuaten, began ruling Egypt at age 12, likely at first disguised as a male.
