Queen Kiya was one of Akhenaten's wives. Little is know about Kiya, where she came from or who she is.It is possible Kiya and Tadukhipa are the same person and that Kiya is a contraction of Tadukhipa's name. Tadukhipa was a Mitanni princess who marries Amenhotep III (Akhenaten's father). If this is true, Kiya was also Akhenaten's mother-in-law.A second possibility is that Kiya is Tutankhamun's mother. Tutankhamun was the king after Akhenaten. Tutankhamun's parents were Akhenaten and an unknown woman referred to as the Younger Lady. The Younger Lady is Akhenaten's sister. If this is theory is true, then Kiya is Akhenaten's wife and sister.
