Claim: Some time in his reign, Tutankhamun died suddenly, leaving Ankhesenamun, a queen who lived during the 18th Dynasty of Egypt, alone and without an heir about the age 21, then a blue glass ring of unknown provenance obtained in 1931 depicts the prenomen of Ay and Ankhesenamun indicating that Ankhesenamun married Ay shortly before she disappeared from history.
Evidence: Some time in the 9 year of his reign, about the age of 18, Tutankhamun died suddenly, leaving Ankhesenamun alone and without an heir about the age 21. Ankhesenamun (ˁnḫ-s-n-imn, "Her Life Is of Amun"; c. 1348 – after 1322 BC) was a queen who lived during the 18th Dynasty of Egypt as the pharaoh Akhenaten's daughter and subsequently became the Great Royal Wife of pharaoh Tutankhamun. A blue glass ring of unknown provenance obtained in 1931 depicts the prenomen of Ay and the name of Ankhesenamun enclosed in cartouches. This indicates that Ankhesenamun married Ay shortly before she disappeared from history, although no monuments show her as great royal wife to him.
