Icon of person Kiya

Kiya was one of the wives of the Egyptian Pharaoh Akhenaten. Little is known about her, and her actions and roles are poorly documented in the historical record, in contrast to those of Akhenaten's 'Great royal wife', Nefertiti. Her unusual name suggests that she may originally have been a Mitanni princess. Surviving evidence demonstrates that Kiya was an important figure at Akhenaten's court during the middle years of his reign, when she had a daughter with him. Read more on Wikipedia

Her biography is available in different languages on Wikipedia. Kiya is the 4,303rd most popular politician (down from 2,375th in 2019), the 206th most popular biography from Egypt (down from 134th in 2019) and the 98th most popular Egyptian Politician.

Kiya was a concubine of Pharaoh Akhenaten. She is most famous for being the mother of Tutankhamun, who became Pharaoh when he was just a child.
