Following Up.
Other victims, and some clarifications. In this brief episode, I describe another individual who suffered desecration. Following Ay’s death, members of his family/network fell from grace. Did they oppose, or fight, the new King Horemheb?- Date: c.1330 BCE (approximate).

You didn’t make any comment on the possibility noted by Aiden Dodson that Senqed/Sennedjem may have been the father of Tey based on his apparent late acquisition of the title God’s Father (similar theory to the title indicating Ay’s fathership of Nefertiti based on its use by Yuya). Personally I find it a reasonable theory, him being also from Akhmim and Tey potentially being a much younger second wife. It could explain Horemheb’s animosity if he was a relative by marriage of Ay.
Agreed, it’s intriguing. But I found it too speculative (since we don’t know Ay’s relationship to Nefertiti). So, I didn’t include it. But I will consider adding it in a future update 🙂
