Tiaa was an Ancient Egyptian princess of the 18th Dynasty. She was the daughter of Pharaoh Thutmose IV[1] and was named after her paternal grandmother Tiaa.
It is likely that she is the princess shown in the tomb of Sobekhotep (TT63), whose wife Meryt was her nurse. Canopic jars that probably belong to her were found in the Valley of the Queens.[2]
She died during the reign of her brother
Petepihu, who were probably her sisters; Nebetia, her niece, and princesses Tatau, Henutiunu, Meritptah, Sithori and Wiay.[4] Her mummy label identifies her as King's Daughter of Menkheperure.[5][6]
The tomb was discovered in 1857.
