Akhenaton had 95 wives before he died.
Queen Kiya was one of the wives of Pharaoh Akhenaten, known for his religious revolution in ancient Egypt. While the exact details of her fate remain unclear, it is believed that she may have fallen out of favor after Akhenaten's reign shifted towards his more prominent wife, Nefertiti. After Akhenaten's death, Kiya's name and legacy largely faded, and she was often excluded from the historical records. Akhenaten himself faced significant criticism and erasure of his legacy posthumously due to the return to traditional polytheistic worship.
Pharaoh Akhenaten had seven children: Tutankhamun, Meritaten, Meketaten, Ankhesenamun, Neferneferuaten Tasherit, Neferneferure and Setepenre.

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.
