The mummy of Yuya, Queen Tiye's father. Tiye was not a princess of her blood: her father Yuya and her mother Thuya were high ecclesiastical dignitaries in Amun's service, and also held provincial administrative appointments, probably in their own native districts. Yuya was also "Prophet of Min" and "In charge of the Oxen of Min" at Akhmim. From Tutankhamen by Christiane Desroches Noblecourt, page 116.
