==Family and early life== left|thumb|Depiction of Tiye's father Yuya in his copy of the Book of the Dead|260x260px Tiye's father, Yuya, was a non-royal, wealthy landowner from the Upper Egyptian town of Akhmim, where he served as a priest and superintendent of oxen or commander of the chariotry. Tiye's mother, Thuya, was involved in many religious cults, as her different titles attested (Singer of Hathor, Chief of the Entertainers of both Amun and Min...). Sometimes it is believed that Thuya is likely to be of royal descent.
