Moreover, King Ay promoted Nay not only to "Hereditary Prince", but also to "great chief in the entire land", "scribe of the elite troops", and "chief spokesman in the entire land", indicating that he [Nay] outranked all other officials under the king. In fact, these titles were previously held by Horemheb during Tutankhamun's reign. However, it is not likely that Nay took over Horemheb's position. As I have already argued, these titles, including <a href="/wiki/Iry-pat" title="Iry-pat">jrj-pꜥt</a>, could have just indicated the heads of the government, not the "designated successor" or "Crown Prince". In fact, Nay's tomb did not suffer from any <a href="/wiki/Damnatio_memoriae" title="Damnatio memoriae">damnatio memoriae</a>.

As Kawai writes: </p> <dl><dd>"Nakhtmin was a general, probably a subordinate of Horemheb in the military under Tutankhamun, but he had also a close relation to Ay. He is known to have dedicated five shabtis to Tutankhamun's funerary equipment. On these shabtis, he was called "General" and "fan bearer on the right of the king". Then, he appears to have been promoted by King Ay to not only "Hereditary Prince" and "Generalissimo" but also even "King's Son" [(<a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/z%EA%9C%A3-nswt" class="extiw" title="wikt:zꜣ-nswt">zꜣ-nswt</a>)]– namely the "Crown Prince" of Ay who would succeed the throne. This title is undoubtedly superior to Horemheb's status. Therefore, King Ay intended to relegate Horemheb to a less important position and replace him with Nakhtmin to carry out his functions. We do not know exactly when Nakhtmin was promoted, but this must have created Horemheb's strong hostility against King Ay."<sup id="cite_ref-20" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-20"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>20<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></dd></dl> <p>Ay's succession plans went awry, as Horemheb became the last king of Egypt's 18th Dynasty instead of Nakhtmin. The fact that Nakhtmin was Ay's intended political heir is strongly implied by an inscription carved on a dyad funerary statue of Nakhtmin and his spouse which was presumably made during Ay's reign. Nakhtmin is clearly given the titles "Crown Prince" (<a href="/wiki/Iry-pat" title="Iry-pat">jrj-pꜥt</a>) and "King's Son" (<a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/z%EA%9C%A3-nswt" class="extiw" title="wikt:zꜣ-nswt">zꜣ-nswt</a>).<sup id="cite_ref-21" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-21"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>21<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The only conclusion which can be drawn here is that Nakhtmin was either a son or an adopted son of Ay's, and that Ay was grooming Nakhtmin for the royal succession instead of Horemheb. The British Egyptologists Aidan Dodson and Dyan Hilton observe that the aforementioned statue: </p> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1244412712">.mw-parser-output .templatequote{overflow:hidden;margin:1em 0;padding:0 32px}.mw-parser-output .templatequotecite{line-height:1.5em;text-align:left;margin-top:0}@media(min-width:500px){.mw-parser-output .templatequotecite{padding-left:1.6em}}</style><blockquote class="templatequote"><p>... is broken after the signs for "King's Son of", and there has been considerable debate as to whether it continued to say "Kush", making Nakhtmin a Viceroy of Nubia, or "of his body", making him an actual royal son.

As Nakhtmin donated items to the burial of Tutankhamun without such a title, it follows that he only became a King's son subsequently, presumably under Ay.
