Amenhotep III the Magnificent announced his marriage in a series of commemorative scarabs, the same shape as the well-known beetle amulets, which modern tourists have carried away from Egypt by the thousands, but large enough to contain a short inscription on the flattened base. This inscription read:

May he live, Amenhotep III, given life, and the King’s Great Wife Tiye, who lives. The name of her father is Yuya, the name of her mother is Thuya; she is the wife of a mighty king whose southern boundary is as far as Karoy, and northern as far as Naharin!

This announcement can be interpreted in a number of ways, but to me it sounds like a challenge. Tiye was not a king’s daughter. The tomb of her parents was found in 1905. It had been entered in ancient times, the coffins opened and some of the grave goods stolen. A lot was left, though, and the exposed mummies were in excellent condition. Tiye’s father, Yuya, was a fine-looking man; suggestions that was non-Egyptian, of Asiatic or Nubian origin, have no actual basis in fact. Yuya’s titles are not indicative of high rank. He is called “Master of the Horse,” and parts of a model chariot found in the tomb bear out this role. His wife had the usual titles of a court lady, in addition to being designated “Mother of the King’s Chief Wife.”

Mummy of Amenhotep III

Originally buried in WV22 (Valley of the Kings), Amenhotep III's mummy was moved in ancient times to Tomb KV35, the tomb of Amenhotep II, which was used by Egyptian priests around the Third Intermediate Period as a royal "mummy" cache (storage). Tomb KV35 became a haven to protect the deceased, with priests placing royal mummies from throughout varied reigns together in one space to prevent more damage and theft from ancient tomb robberies.

Despite the rather poorly preserved condition of Amenhotep III's mummy (only his head is pictured here, but his mummified body does exist alongside his head), modern analysis of the king's remains tell us he died around aged 50, which matches Grafton Elliot Smith's estimation from over a century ago; that Amenhotep III's age at death was likely 40–50 years.

Amenhotep III now rests in the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization after being moved from the Egyptian Museum, Cairo, in April 2021.

A 3400-Year-Old Painter’s Palette From Ancient Egypt,

Still Contains Traces of Pigment And Belonged To Pharaoh Amenhotep III.

This ancient artist’s palette is made from just one single piece of ivory. The palette has been so well preserved, it still contains remnants of pigments like green, blue, yellow, red, black, and brown. 

This artifact is just one example of how the North African civilization of ancient Egypt was paving the way in the field of arts.
