The mummies of Yuya were discovered wearing these cartonnage masks covered with gold leaf. Yuya was the father of Queen Tiye, wife of king Amenhotep III, and husband of Thuya. Yuya came from the town of Akhmim, where he probably held estates and where he was a priest of the Egyptian god Min, the chief god of the area. Yuya held important religious titles, in addition to the title of the Royal father of the Great Wife of the King. New Kingdom, 18th Dynasty, reign of Amenhotep III (c.1390–1352 BC) Provenance: Luxor, Valley of the Kings, Tomb of Yuya and Tjuya (KV46). ➖ ©️ Copyright All Rights Reserved ©️ ➖ مــ𓁳𓆃ـصــ𓅮ـر 🇪🇬 🇪🇬 مومياء النبيل يويا من الأسرة 18 زوج النبيلة تويا ومستشار الملك أمنحتب الثالث ووالد زوجته الملكية الملكة تي. . ➖➖𓋹𓁈𓄇𓋖𓂀𓅃𓋹𓅔➖➖ . #thisisegypt #everydayegypt #ancientegypt  #visitegypt  #egyptshots  #amazingegypt #travelegypt  #experienceegypt  #Temple #pharaohs #ancientcity  #ancientart #Egypt #Alexandria #cairo #luxor #kemet #egyptology #hatshepsut #karnak #cairo #Egyptiangods  #mummy #photooftheday #beautiful #photographer #explore #love #mostafawaziry #the_holy_egypt
