Description

Right profile view of the "Elder Lady Mummy" found in tomb KV35.

Image derived from Grafton Elliot Smith's "The Royal Mummies" (Plate XCVII), which was first published in 1912. The author died in 1937 so the book/image is in the public domain.

Recent genetic tests have conclusively demonstrated that this individual was the mother of the remains found in KV55, now thought (but not proven) to be that of Akhenaten. The JAMA eSupplement from Feb. 17, 2010 concludes that "The family pedigree was completed by the identification of KV35 Elder Lady as a daughter of Yuya and Thuya (99.99999929%), indicating that she could be Queen Tiye. This was confirmed by the calculation of the kinship of Amenhotep III and KV35 Elder Lady as father and mother of KV55, which revealed a probability of 99.99999964%." (eSupplement, p.3).
