    By his third regnal year, Tutankhaten left Akhetaten/Tell el-Amarna, the Amarna-period royal city. This is the clearest directly stated movement from his early royal residence. The source dates the move only to his third regnal year. 1330 BC is an approximate conversion using the conventional c. 1332 BC accession; absolute New Kingdom chronology is disputed.

The presence is posthumous.
