Carter's note "With the dismembered parts of two chariots
found in this chamber was a whip bearing an inscription
"The King's son, Captain of the Troops, Thutmes/<Dhutmose>."
Who was this royal prince? – who, to have been Captain of
the Troops during the reign of Tut'ankhamûn, could not
have been very young. Was he a son of Thothmes/<of Tuthmosis> IV, or
was he a son of Amenhotep/<Amenophis> III? That problem has yet to
be solved. If he was a son of Thothmes/<Tuthmosis> IV, and was living
at the time of Tut'ankhamûn's burial, he must have reached
at least 60 or more years of age; whereas, if he was a son
of Amenhotep/<Amenophis> III, as one would suspect him to have been, he
would not have been more than about 35 years of age at the
time of Tut'ankhamûn's death. Circumstantial evidence of
this kind should have some bearing upon the possibility
of that prince's parentage."
