Introduction
Mutemwiya was a wife of Thutmose IV and mother of Amenhotep III; the Luxor Temple divine-birth reliefs present her as visited by the god Amun, disguised as her husband, echoing the earlier Hatshepsut cycle almost scene for scene.
Family
- Spouse: Thutmose IV (married)
- Children: Amenhotep III
Reusing a Royal Script
The close similarity between the Luxor reliefs depicting Mutemwiya and the earlier Deir el-Bahari cycle for Queen Ahmose suggests deliberate reuse of an established legitimation template rather than an independently composed narrative, applied here not to justify an unusual female ruler but to reinforce ordinary dynastic succession with the same claim of unimpeachable divine paternity.
This article records a specific literary or theological role — a king-list entry, a court tale, or a royal legitimation narrative — rather than the deity's or ruler's fuller religious identity, which (where applicable) is covered in the separate Egyptian Pantheon project.
