[edit] Tiy/Tiye/Tyi

My modern Egyptology books use either Tiy or Tiye for the transliteration. Tyi is not used in any modern books I looked at. We currently have her Tiy, but in the few I looked at, Tiye is more common, so if people want to switch her to Tiye, that's OK with me. Noel 15:37, 29 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Should someone fix the paragraph which states Tiye to be apart of the royal egyptian bloodline when in fact she was of israelite descent? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:Jthomasc (talk • contribs).

Well, the two aren't contradictory. Her royal descent is supposed to have come through her mother and her "Israelite" descent is supposed to come through her father. But since there is zero evidence for the latter I don't think it should be included. Mr. Osman's speculations are not widely accepted. Paul B 22:24, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
