Information about the Tomb of Tuya and Yuya. 

The Tomb of Tuya and Yuya is an important archaeological tomb located in the Valley of the Kings in Luxor, Egypt. It was discovered in 1905 AD;
The tomb dates back to the New Kingdom in the Pharaoh’s era, specifically the 18th Dynasty BC. It was one of the few tombs discovered with mummies. The tomb contains the mummies of Tuya and Yuya, the parents of Queen Tiye, wife of King Amenhotep III.
The tomb is considered one of the best-preserved tombs in the Valley of the Kings and contains a remarkable collection of artifacts, including funerary furniture, jewelry, and vessels. According to the official page of the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, the mummies of Yuya and Tuya were discovered wearing cartonnage masks covered in gold leaf.

Yuya was the father of Queen Tiye, wife of King Amenhotep III, and the husband of Tuya.

Yuya came from the town of Akhmim (North of Luxor), where he is believed to have held a prominent position and held property.
He was also a priest of the Egyptian God Min, the official deity in the region.
Tuya held important religious titles, in addition to the title of Royal Mother of the Great King’s Wife.
The explorer Quibell discovered the tomb on February 12, 1905. All the tomb’s artifacts were contained in a single chamber, devoid of any decoration or inscriptions. Although the tomb had been previously looted, many treasures were found, including artifacts depicting daily life, exquisite funerary furniture, and vessels made of alabaster and colored limestone.

The tomb also contained the mummies of Yuya and Yuya, in excellent condition thanks to the high quality of their mummification. They also contained their inner and outer coffins, their masks made of gilded cartonnage inlaid with precious stones, visceral caskets and vessels, ushabti figurines, and the Papyrus of Yuya, inscribed with the Book of the Dead.
The king lavished many titles on Tuya and Yuya, which raised them to high ranks, both military and religious. It is certain that Queen Tiye played a major political role in the era of King Amenhotep III and his son Akhenaten, who died in the eighth year of his reign.
She participated with her husband in making the most influential decisions until she became widely known among nations and kingdoms. Some historians consider her one of the wisest and most astute Egyptian queens, due to her political cunning and experience in managing affairs.
The greatest evidence of all these qualities is a statue of her head that was discovered in 1900 AD.
All collections of the tomb are now displayed inside the Egyptian Museum at Tahrir Square.
