Tiyi - grandmother of Tutankhamun

Tiye (c. 1398 BC – 1338 BC, also spelled Tye, Taia, Tiy and Tiyi) was the Great Royal Wife of the Egyptian pharaoh Amenhotep III, mother of pharaoh Akhenaten and grandmother of pharaoh Tutankhamun; her parents were Yuya and Thuya. In 2010, DNA analysis confirmed her as the mummy known as "The Elder Lady" found in the tomb of Amenhotep II (KV35) in 1898.

The Discovery of KING TUT | The Burial Chamber and Treasury

In November 1922, after five years of searching, Howard Carter and his patron Lord Carnarvon finally discovered the last resting place of Tutankhamun. His tomb was found directly beneath the tomb of Ramesses VI, which had been built much later on. As a result, the debris from the construction had been dumped into the entrance to Tutankhamun’s tomb – a stroke of luck for us today, since the boy king’s tomb does remained intact and hidden for more than 3,000 years. Two figures standing guard indicated where the entrance to the burial chamber must be. On February 17th 1923, Carter began tearing down the wall that separated the antechamber from the mummy of the Pharaoh. When the opening was large enough, Carter was able to peek through and spied a wall of gold. This later turned out to be a golden shrine. Between the shrine and the chamber walls there was just enough room to squeeze through.
