Something wrong?She was the most powerful woman in Egypt for nearly four decades - not as a pharaoh herself, but as the wife who ruled beside one king and the mother who shaped another, Akhenaten, whose religious revolution upended three thousand years of tradition.

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.
