TAIA. A
noble lady of an unknown Japhetic tribe, the daughter of a chief named Iuaa,
and his wife Tuaa. She
became the wife of Amenhotep III., king of Egypt, and the regent of the
kingdom during the reign of her son Amenhotep IV. Taia exercised a
powerful influence over both her husband and son, and forcibly introduced
the worship of the solar disk under the name of Aten Ra in place of the
deities of the national polytheistic religion, changing the capital city
from Thebes to Tel el Amarna, the better to effect her purpose. This
led to a revolution, which probably cost the lives of both her son and
herself, as is implied in the complete destruction of all her temples, and
the erasure of her name from the monuments of Egypt. See Amenhotep
III. and IV., and Khuenaten.
Taia, the daughter of Ua, the scribe of the cavalry of an Egyptian
king of the XVIIIth dynasty.
Taia, a pallacist of Isis, and
the wife of Un-nefer, high-priest of Osiris in the reign of Rameses II. (An Archaic
Dictionary, Cooper, 1876).
