Lady of The Harem of Min
«b»
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tjuyu
Tjuyu«/b» (sometimes transliterated as «b»Thuya«/b» or «b»Thuyu«/b») was an Egyptian noblewoman, a descendant of «u»Ahmose-Nefertari «/u», and she held many official roles in the interwoven religion and government of «u»Ancient Egypt «/u». She was involved in many religious cults and her titles included, 'Singer of Hathor' and Chief of the Entertainers of both Amun and Min.«u»[1]«/u» She also held the influential offices of «i»Superintendent of the «u»Harem «/u»«/i» of the god «u»Min «/u» of «u»Akhmin «/u» and of Amun of «u»Thebes «/u».«u»[2]«/u» She married «u»Yuya «/u», a powerful «u»Ancient Egyptian «/u» courtier of the
«u»eighteenth dynasty «/u».
Yuya and Thuya had a daughter named «u»Tiye «/u», who became the consort and «u»Great Royal Wife «/u» of Pharaoh «u»Amenhotep III «/u». The great royal wife was the highest Egyptian religious position, serving alongside of the pharaoh in official ceremonies and rituals.
Yuya and Thuya also had a son named «u»Anen «/u», who carried the titles Chancellor of Lower Egypt, Second Prophet of Amun, sm-priest of Heliopolis and Divine Father.«u»[3]
«/u»
They also may have been the parents of «u»Ay «/u»,«u»[4]«/u» an Egyptian courtier active during the reign of pharaoh «u»Akhenaten «/u», who eventually became pharaoh, as «i»Kheperkheprure Ay«/i», however, there is no conclusive evidence regarding the kinship of Yuya and Ay, although certainly, both men came from «u»Akhmim «/u».«u»[5]
«/u»
Together with her husband, Tjuyu was buried in the «u»Valley of the Kings «/u», in «u»KV46 «/u», where their largely unpillaged remains were found in 1905. It was the best-preserved tomb discovered before that of «u»Tutankhamun «/u».
