Thuya's greatest accolade was her burial in the Valley of the Kings, an honour almost exclusively reserved for royalty. Her tomb, KV46, remained remarkably intact until its discovery in 1905, providing an unprecedented glimpse into the lives of elite non-royals in the New Kingdom. Her mummy's exceptional preservation has made her one of the most studied figures of her era.
