Amenhotep 111 "His principal wife, Tye, was from a noble Egyptian family"
This is going to be interesting = Amenhotep 111 - the time of Moses, Prince of Egypt.
Yes, Princess Tye -
"Amenhotep's accession and marriage to Tiye was widely proclaimed by the distribution of commemorative "scarabs" (examples of which have been found at the far extremities of the empire).(6) The names of Tiye and her parents are plainly stated, "the Great King's Wife Tiye: the name of her father is Yuya, and the name of her mother is Tuya."(7)

One of many studies on Amenhotep 111 -
Tuya had traditional Egyptian features, however her husband Yuya, as his exceptionally well preserved mummy shows, was clearly of mostly Asiatic/Semitic heritage. Asiatics were renowned for their handling of horses, and were highly valued in the Egyptian military during the 18th Dynasty at which time the Egyptians first utilized the chariot in warfare. Yey, a forefather of Yuya, had also held the title of "Commander of the Chariotry."(8) Yuya, also written as simply Yu,(9) has been associated with the Biblical Patriarch Joseph by Osman.(10) The name Joseph (written as Yuseph in Arabic)(11) is a ...
In other words, many scholars assert that Queen Tye/Tiye was the daughter of the Egytian Princess Tuya who married the Pharoah's right hand man, the man who was second in power only to the Pharoah - "Yuya", aka, Joseph - of the Coat of Many Colors.
Further, it is claimed, Amenhotep 111 and Tyr/Tiye were the parents of Amenhotep 1V - who took the name Akhenaten when he became Pharoah.
As Pharoah Akhenaten, instituted the worship of the ONE GOD, Aten...and crushed the rule of the Priesthood of the many gods...a priesthood which pretty much ruled the land.
This created such conflict that Akhenaten and his queen fled south and built a new capitol of Egypt...etc etc - and just who was Akhenaton and why was there such an effort to eradicate all evidence of his existence? Who was his famous wife? Who were this couple??? And who was their famous son?
Lots of fun study = and evidence certain factions have continued to keep buried, even today. Inconvenient truths?
Is this Moses?
