Tut was married to his half-sister Ankhesenamun. This was a common practice amongst Egyptian royals as they wanted to keep the blood line pure. Figure 8.10 is a chair panel on the Golden Throne, depicting the young Pharaoh Tut and his wife Ankhesenamun. This artefact shows the loving affection between husband and wife, where Ankhesenamun is touching Tut’s arm. Another artefact that clearly shows this relationship is the lamp found in the antechamber.
Another method she used was the coronation inscriptions and oracles which stressed her right to the throne as she was placed there by her father Thutmose 1 and the god Amun-Re. Hatshepsut further stressed her right to the throne through adapting the ancient myth of Osiris and stressing her pure royal lineage as opposed to her half brother Thutmose 11.

The Red Chapel in Karnak, refers to the oracle of Amun choosing a king in yr 2.
