Hi Paul, haven't talked to you in a while. Re-read this sentence from the main page: '''Also, in the past, when the Gurob head of Tiye was discovered at Medinet Gurob (as seen on the image on the right), the skin color of the statuette was presumed to be the real skin color of the queen.''' Also take a close up look at Tiye's image on this page link and you will see that's it's painted right down to the eyes. You will also notice underlying discolorations in the wood discerning her face and forhead. '''www.homestead.com/wysinger/tiye5.html''' |

Tiy/Tiye/Tyi
My modern Egyptology books use either Tiy or Tiye for the transliteration. Tyi is not used in any modern books I looked at. We currently have her Tiy, but in the few I looked at, Tiye is more common, so if people want to switch her to Tiye, that's OK with me. Noel 15:37, 29 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Israelite descent
Should someone fix the paragraph which states Tiye to be apart of the royal egyptian bloodline when in fact she was of israelite descent? — Preceding unsigned comment added by User:Jthomasc (talk • contribs)
- Well, the two aren't contradictory. Her royal descent is supposed to have come through her mother and her "Israelite" descent is supposed to come through her father. But since there is zero evidence for the latter I don't think it should be included. Mr. Osman's speculations are not widely accepted. Paul B 22:24, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
^I agree, it's all speculation and the question wasn't of her, it was about her father, Yuya. Her mother was Egyptian and descendant from Ahmose-Nefertari, so she was a part of the royal line descendant from the first queen of the 18th Dynasty.Taharqa 18:08, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
Ethnicity
With this article reading as it does, with the statue of Tiye appearing as it does and King Tut's image on his painted box appearing as it does, I would think that it brings into great clarity the ethnicity of Akenaton and Egyptians at large. Tom 13:00, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
