Tomb of Siptah (KV47)

Siptah was a Pharaoh of the 19th Dynasty during the New Kingdom. He succeeded Seti II.  He became Pharaoh at a young age and his step mother Tausert was his regent. He died a few years later at 16 and Tausert became Pharaoh herself. Young king dies before he is old enough to rule. Regent takes over. Sound familiar?
