It is unknown what exactly happened to Kiya after Akhenaten's Year 11. It is possible that she died or was exiled. It is unknown who Kiya is or where Kiya came from. Kiya could have been a princess named Tadukhipa from Mitanni. The alliance between Egypt and Mitanni might have ended, resulting in Kiya returning home.The other theory is the Kiya was a mummy known as the Younger Lady. The Younger Lady is the sister of Akhenaten, but also the mother of Tutankhamun, the king after Akhenaten. Akhenaten's chief wife, Nefertiti, might have been jealous and killed Kiya.

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.

When did queen Kiya die?
Queen Kiya was one of Akhenaten's (King Amenhotep IV) wives back in Ancient Egypt. Nefertiti was Akhenaten's chief wife, Kiya was not near as important and little is known of her. She was important though, she bore the king a daughter. Kiya was also thought to have been Tutankhamun's mother. DNA testing has proven that false.It is unknown whether Queen Kiya was a native Egyptian or a foreign princess. Kiya is an unusual name and could have come from being a foreign princess. The daughter of King Tushratta of Mitanni, Tadukhipa, married Amenhotep III near the end of his reign. After Amenhotep III's death she married Akhenaten. This is all speculation, there is no clear evidence that Kiya was Tadukhipa.The date of Kiya's death is also unknown. She disappeared from all records in the last third of Akhenaten's reign. If Kiya and Tadukhipa were the same person then it is a possibility that Egypt's alliance with Mitanni ended, resulting in Kiya/Tadukhipa returning home Mitanni.
