Tiaa (princess)

Tiaa was an Ancient Egyptian princess of the 18th dynasty. She was the daughter of Pharaoh Thutmose IV [dodson, p.140] .

It is likely that she is the princess shown in the tomb of Sobekhotep (TT63). Canopic jars that probably belong to her were found in the Valley of the Queens. [Dodson & Hilton, op.cit., p.140] .

She died during the reign of her brother Amenhotep III. Her original burial place is not known. [Joann Fletcher: Egypt’s Sun King – Amenhotep III (Duncan Baird Publishers, London, 2000) ISBN 1-900131-09-9, p.144] Her mummy was reburied during the 21st dynasty in Sheikh Abd el-Qurna, along with the mummies of several other royal princesses: Amenemopet and Petepihu, who were probably her sisters; Nebetia, her niece, and princesses Tatau, Henutiunu, Meritptah, Sithori and Wiay [Dodson & Hilton, op.cit., p.135] . Her mummy label identifies her as "King's Daughter of Menkheperure." [Fletcher, op.cit., p.145] The tomb was discovered in 1857.
