KV-46
Historic site in Luxor
The tomb of Yuya and Thuya, also known by its tomb number KV46, is the burial place of the ancient Egyptian noble Yuya and his wife Thuya, in the Valley of the Kings. They were the parents of Queen Tiye, the chief wife of Pharaoh Amenhotep III, Tutankhamun's grandfather. Their tomb was discovered in February 1905 by the Egyptologist James E. Quibell, excavating under the sponsorship of the American millionaire Theodore M. Davis. The tomb was robbed in antiquity but preserved a great deal of its original contents including chests, beds, chairs, a chariot, and numerous storage jars. Additionally, the rifled but undamaged mummies of Yuya and Thuya were found within their disturbed coffin sets.
