Ânkhésenpaamon , or Ânkhésenamon - It lives for Amon - ( Ânkhésenpaaton - It lives for Aton - during the Period amarnienne), was the third girl of the Pharaon Akhénaton and its wife Néfertiti. She passed her childhood to Akhetaton, the city of the sun. It is thought that she was initially married with her own father, with whom she would have had a girl, Ânkhésenpaaton Tasherit. After the death of her father, it becomes the woman of Toutânkhaton. She is represented on certain parts of the funerary furniture of the young king.

After the marriage the couple is converted with the worship amonien into changing their name into Toutânkhamon and Ankhésenpaamon, and returns in Thèbes. This return marks the end of the experiment atonienne of Akhénaton. In spite of many attempts the couple had only two dull girls. When Toutânkhamon dies, it remains the last guarantor of dynastic legitimacy and is married, seems he, with his successor Aÿ. Its end is dubious. In all the cases, she dies under the reign of Aÿ, or a little later under that of Horemheb.

She could be this queen who, widowed, made come a prince from Hatti of the name of Zannanza, for thus sealing an alliance with this country against which Egypt is in war. An extraordinary proposal in the context of the time, promising with a hittite to become Pharaon d' Égypte. The message is however intercepted, and the prince is hardly carried out entered to Egypt.

Some advance that the queen author of this incredible letter (discovery with Hattousa, capital of Hatti) to the king Suppiluliuma {{Ier}}, asking one of her sons to reign at her sides, could be the older sister of Ânkhésenpaamon, Mérytaton, even, which is much less probable, his/her Néfertiti mother.
