Whenever I find myself unsure, I ask myself WWTD. What Would Tiye Do? Tiye was the Chief Wife of Amenhotep III, mother of Akhenaten and likely grandmother of Tutankhamun. She was an incredibly visible figure in the reign of her husband and the fact that she was often depicted the same height as him in statuary is a physical testament to her importance. She continued to play an important role during the turbulent reign of her son Akhenaten, especially in foreign diplomacy. It is speculated that the "Elder Lady" mummy belongs to Tiye.
