	Tadukhipa
		After her father Tushratta came to the throne of the Mitanni, Tadukhipa was sent to Egypt to marry Amenhotep III and reassert the diplomatic alliance between the two nations.
		Tadukhipa had arrived in or before the 36th regnal Year of Amenhotep III, some 26 years after her aunt Gilukhipa made the same journey.
		Her husband did not live long after her marriage, and some have suggested that Kiya is a nickname for Tadukhipa, and that she married Akhenaten after the old king's death.

	Nefertiti - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nefertiti's parentage is not known, but it has been conjectured that she may have been a daughter of later Pharaoh Ay and his wife Tey.
		Depending on which reconstruction of the genealogy of the ancient Egyptian pharaohs is followed, her husband Akhenaten may have been the father or half-brother of the Pharaoh Tutankhaten (later called Tutankhamun).
		As can be seen by the suggested identifications between Tadukhipa, Nefertiti, Smenkhkare and Kiya, the records of their time and their lives are largely incomplete, and the findings of both archaelogists and historians may develop new theories vis-à-vis Nefertiti and her precipitous exit from the public stage.

		He was the son of Shuttarna II, and his daughter Tadukhipa was married to Akhenaten.
		While it was common practice to incorporate enemy soldiers in the army, this might point to a Hittite attempt to counter the most potent weapon of the Mitanni, the war-chariots, by building up or strengthening their own chariot forces.
		Tushratta had possibly suspected Hittite intentions on his kingdom, for the Amarna letters include several tablets from Tushratta concerning the marriage of his daughter Tadukhipa with Akhenaten, explicitly to solidify an alliance with the Egyptian kingdom (EA 17).

	Kiya . Wife of Akhenaten
		Tadukhipa, Princess of Mittani, arrived 2 years before the death of Amunhotep III in year 36.
		I have long entertained the thought that, if she was not Tadukhipa, she may have been a daughter of Ay[a]'s.
		The name similarities are striking, she is nowhere mentioned as the daughter of a King, and she appeared on the scene about the same time as Ay's rise in status.

	Kiya
		Kiya is thought to have been a foreign princess, known originally as Tadukhipa sent from Mitanni to be married to Amenhotep III.
		Kiya died before Akhenaten and was buried with considerable funerary treasure, although her body and her children (she may have had a daughter and possibly two sons) have not been found.
		It is thought that Kiya was originally a Mitannian princess, Tadukhipa, originally sent to be a wife of Amenophis III - but on arrival was instead married to Akhenaten.

		Once he sent a slave boy and girl along with treasures he had captured from the Hittites, and another time he sent thirty women skilled in music, needlework, and other Asiatic arts.
		The marriage of Amenhotep III with his daughter Tadukhipa was the occasion for another orgy of mutual gift-giving, and his complaints about Amenhotep's failure to live up to his promises carried over into the reign of Akhenaten.
		The rest of his letters to Amenhotep III primarily dealt with the lengthy negotiations for the marriage of Tadukhipa.

		Towards the end of his reign Amenhotep III wrote to the King of Mitanni requesting that his daughter, Tadukhipa be sent to Egypt as his wife.
		After lengthy negotiations the girl was duly sent, arriving shortly before the death of the old King, so it is unclear as to whether they married or not.
		If she did deliver a child soon afterwards, then it would have been difficult to discern which, if any of the two Kings was the father.

		Kiya's abnormally elaborate title, as long as Nefertiti's, may have been given to her to compensate for what was in fact a secondary status.
		As Naharina was also known as Mitanni, there is strong reason to believe that Kiya was princess Tadukhipa of Mitanni, sent to the Egyptian court late in the reign of Akhenaten's father, Amenhotep III, by Tushratta of Mitanni (Naharina).
		After a few years in the old pharaoh's harem, she was put into that of his son.

	Man and His Gods
		To Queen Tiy, who was a strong-willed and independent woman, a weakling son must have been more a source of chagrin than pleasure and it is quite likely that she early abandoned him to the other women of the harem.
		In this strange coterie there were possibly his grandmother, Mutamuya, and his elder stepmother, Gilukhipa, both of whom may have survived long enough to influence him, as well as the youngest stepmother, Tadukhipa, whom he himself later married.
		Or it may have been secretly in the harem that Mutamuya, Gilukhipa or his stepmother-wife, Tadukhipa, infected Amenhotep with Oriental abstractions foreign to the Nile.

		At present, it remains debatable on the parentage of this young man. The present popular theory being he was either the son of Akhenaten & Tadukhipa (Kiya?), or the son of Amunhotep III & Tiye.
		If Kiya turns out to be Tadukhipa, the only person thought to be related to Ay would be Nefertiti.
		Kiya, although a pet name, is too familiar sounding a name with Ay[a], Thuya, Tiye, etc. and it may turn out she was a daughter of Ay & Tey's.

	Virtual-Egypt - The Egyptian People's Papyrus
		A hieratic docket in what was probably the first letter addressed by Tushratta to Napkhuria--this being the cuneiform rendering of Amenophis IV's Prenomen Neferkheprure'--dates it in year 2, and states that the Court was still in residence in western Thebes.
		We learn too that Tadukhipa's connubial duties had now been transferred from the father to the son, and it has sometimes been suggested that this Mitannian princess was none other than the beautiful Nefertiti, familiar to the modern world from her wonderfully modeled and painted head in the Berlin Museum.
		Obstacles to this theory are, however, that Nefertiti is known to have had a sister in Egypt, and that Tey, the wife of the elderly officer Ay who ultimately became king, claimed to have been her nurse.

		Some identify her with Tadukhipa, the daughter of Tushratta, King of the Mitanni, saying that her foreign origin comes through in the Egyptian name she chose upon settling in Egypt: Nefertiti, the Beauty who came, implying from elsewhere.
		Tempting as it might be, this hypothesis does not hold up against serious examination, for certain documents indicate that Tadukhipa arrived at Malkata in the year 36 of Amenhotep III's reign, which falls quite some time after the attested date for the marriage between Nefertiti and Amenophis.
		Might she have been the offspring of the king and one of his secondary wives?

		Like her mother-in-law Ty she has been described as a foreigner, and some would even identify her with a certain Tadukhipa of Mitanni.We know from the Tell-el-Amarna letters that Dushratta, King of Mitanni, sent his daughter Tadukhipa to Egypt just as her aunt Kirgipa had been sent before her.
		Though the terse but bombastic wording of these letters is apt to be obscure it is hard to avoid the conclusion that the king to whom she was sent and to whom she was at least intended to be married was Amenophis 111.
		What is, however, quite certain from the letters is that this same Tadukhipa was eventually married to Akhenaten.

		Arthur Weigall rejects this view on account of the princess's "typically Egyptian" features, and supposes her to be the daughter of Ay, a court dignitary, while the striking resemblance between her portraits and those of her young husband has prompted others to suggest that she was his half, or even his full sister.
