Topic: KV46


In the News (Mon 4 Jun 12)

  
  KV46 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tomb KV46 in the Valley of the Kings is the tomb of Yuya and his wife Tjuyu, the probable parents of Queen Tiye, the wife of Amenhotep III.
Until the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb this was the richest and best preserved tomb found in the valley, and the first to be found with major items in situ.
Located in a small branch of the main valley between two later Ramesside tombs, KV46 contained the mostly intact sarcophagi of Yuya and Tjuyu.

 Emma Andrews, A Journal on the Bedawin, American Philosophical Society
During thirteen seasons in the Valley of the Kings, Davis had the good fortune to employ a number of famously talented excavators.
Under his watch, James E. Quibell uncovered the tomb of Yuya and Tjuyu in 1903 (known today as KV46), Edward Ayrton discovered the tomb usually identified as Akhenaten's or Smenkhkare's (KV55) in 1907 and of Horemheb (KV57) in 1908, and a young Howard Carter helped excavate the tomb of Tuthmosis IV (KV43) in 1903.
Carter left Davis in 1907 to join the Earl Carnarvon, and a few years later, Davis is reported to have said that the Valley of the Kings was exhausted as an archaeological site.

 XVIIIth Dynasty
To his harem got from Mitanni Giluhepa and Taduhepa, daughters of king Shutarna and his heir, as well as Babylonian princesses, daughters of Kurgalzu II and Kadashman-Charbes.
His royal chief-wife and mother of his heir was queen Tiji, presumably daughter of a couple of court nobles – Yuya and Tjuyu (tomb KV46).
It is also possible that he was brother of queen Tiji and son of a couple of court nobles: Yuya and Tjuyu (tomb KV46).

 Anybody played Egypt 1156 b.c. or Egypt II?
Made in France in partnership with the Louvre, these two 'games' are in fact stunning virtual reality recreations of two different locations/periods in the New Kingdom.
you play Ramose, a young scribe who has come to Waset (Thebes) on a mission to clear your father from accusations that he was involved in a series of tomb-robberies (which includes KV46, the tomb of Yuya and Thuyu, grrr....).
In the game your investigation takes you into the Tomb of Seti I, the workmen's village at Deir el Medina, an embalmer's workshop, several non-royal tombs, a nobleman's villa and finally to the great hypostyle hall at Karnak- where you have to rush to complete your investigation before the festival of Opet begins.

 Ancient Egypt [Quills and Ink]
Even with the intriguing proposition that Akhesenamun’s tomb may be nearby, unless and until more information is found, an unfinished tomb, or one that was damaged in antiquity (supported by the fact that the blocking stones had been replaced), just seems more probable.
The chamber itself is very similar to KV46, that of Yuya and Tuya (parents of the 18th Dynasty Queen Tyie, wife of Amenhotep III) and it has been speculated it was created by the same architect.
It strikes me as very odd that a Royal Architect would create a room with the only purpose of warehousing items.
