Amazing Tomb Of Yuya And Tjuyu Filled With Ancient Treasures In The Valley Of The Kings
Ellen Lloyd – AncientPages.com – Many amazing archaeological discoveries have been made in the Land of The Pharaohs. Still, it is not often archaeologists can find nearly intact burials filled with the most extraordinary ancient treasures left untouched for three thousand years.
The Egyptian couple Yuya and Tjuyu were not particularly important historical individuals. They gained historians’ attention because they were the parent of Queen Tiye, who was the mother of Akhenaten. After their death, years passed, and perhaps Yuya and Tjuyu would have been forgotten. Still, the discovery of their amazing tomb in the Valley of the Kings gave them a prominent place in historical and archaeological records.
Most ancient Egyptian tombs have been looted, but few thieved had the opportunity to enter Yuya and Tjuyu’s tomb, KV46. Their tombs escaped serious robbery because this burial place was protected by construction debris.
