# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Tiye was born around 1398 BC to Yuya and Thuya, and became Great Royal Wife to Amenhotep III. For decades she wielded influence unusual even for Egyptian queens, her counsel sought in matters of state and diplomacy. Her son became Akhenaten, the heretic pharaoh who abandoned the old gods; her grandson was Tutankhamun, who restored them. She died around 1338 BC. In 2010, DNA analysis confirmed that the mummy called "The Elder Lady," discovered in the tomb of Amenhotep II in 1898, was hers — a body that had waited more than three millennia to reclaim its name.
