There were plenty of shrines dedicated to her. There was also an artificial lake built for her in the 12th year of Amenhotep’s reign. Tiye became her husband’s trusted adviser and confidant. Being wise, intelligent, strong and fierce, she was able to gain the respect of foreign dignitaries. Foreign leaders were willing to deal directly through her. She continued to play an active role in foreign relations and was the first Egyptian queen to have her name recorded on official acts. Tiye may have continued to advise her son, Akhenaten, when he took the throne. Her son’s correspondence with Tushratta, the king of Mitanni, speaks highly of the political influence she wielded at court. . . #queentiye #kingtut #ancienthistory #blackhistory #africa #egypt #Amenhotep #queen #justiceforbreonnataylor #nileriver (at Ethiopia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCWaX6JgwK7/?igshid=1qvgznm7hgbi9
