General Notes:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ay
Ay was the penultimate Pharaoh of Ancient Egypt 's 18th dynasty . He held the throne of Egypt for a brief four-year period (probably 1323 \endash 1319 BC[1] or 1327 \endash 1323 BC, depending on which chronology is followed), although he was a close advisor to two and perhaps three of the pharaohs who ruled before him and was the power behind the throne during Tutankhamun 's reign. Ay's prenomen or royal name\emdash Kheperkheperure\emdash means "Everlasting are the Manifestations of Ra" while his birth name Ay it-netjer reads as 'Ay, Father of the God.'[2] Records and monuments that can be clearly attributed to Ay are rare, not only due to his short length, but also because his successor, Horemheb , instigated a campaign of damnatio memoriae against him and other pharaohs associated with the unpopular Amarna Period .
Ay married Tey [61741] [MRIN: 551617778].
