By all means please move this page if anyone has a better way to disambig two Tiaas. However, currently we had Amenhotep II's wife linking to Seti II's, so I had to split them. And I may have misspelled Sety, it's just that I've seen it both i and y, and don't know which is right/which we're using. Thanatosimii 19:48, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
From article namespace nothing linked to the other Tiaa, only to the wife of Amenhotep II. It would be best to move the original page back to the "Tiaa" title. Seti II did not have a wife named Tiaa, Siptah's mother was a Syrian called Sutailja (or something similar). The confusion was caused by the fact that the tomb of the 18th dynasty Tiaa is adjacent to Siptah's tomb, and floodwater washed some of the items inscribed with "King's Mother Tiaa" to Siptah's tomb. See Aidan Dodson & Dyan Hilton, The Complete Royal Families of Ancient Egypt, Thames & Hudson (2004) ISBN 0-500-05128-3 p.140. This article is about a nonexistent person :) There is another Tiaa, though, the granddaughter of Queen Tiaa. In Hungarian Wikipedia I solved the problem by having Queen Tiaa as the first meaning of the word and disambiguating the granddaughter as Tiaa (princess). regards, – Alensha talk 14:32, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
- If you say so... I'm not entierly sure exactly what you even said, but then again, I know little about 19th dynasty stuff. All I know is there was this Sety II stuff where there needed to be an article about Amenhotep II's wife, so I moved this one under the assumption that there were two such queens.
