Mummy of Yuya and Tjuyu

The mummy of King Tut’s great grandfather, Yuya, is a stunning example of ancient Egyptian embalming.  He and his wife were probably between 50 and 60 years old at the time of death. Like her husband, Tjuyu was identified by inscriptions on funerary equipment. Hieroglyphs spell out her name and titles, which include dresser to the king, Chantress of the god Amun, and Lady of the Harem of the god Min.
