Queen Sitiah  Her
name is sometimes written as Sit-Iah or Sat-Iah. Her name means
"daughter of Iah", where Iah is a moongod. This is the same deity
referred to in names like Ahmose. Iah (or Yah) is associated with the
god Thoth as well.
Sitiah was the daughter of a royal nurse named Ipu. Sitiah must have married King Tuthmosis III at the beginning of his reign. She is attested in some monuments and may be the mother of Prince Amenemhet. Sitiah vanishes sometime during the second decade of Tuthmosis' reign. Sitiah's titles include: King’s Wife (hmt-nisw), Great King’s Wife (hmt-niswt-wrt) and God’s Wife (hmt-ntr). Items
and incriptions mentioning Queen Sitiah
Offering table from
Abydos:
The textmentions her mother, the “nurse of the god” Ipu. The offering table was dedicated by the lector priest Therikiti. [PM] Bronze votive axe-head(?) (Cairo Museum) from Abydos. The axe-head is inscribed with the name of Queen Sitiah [PM] Temple of Monthu (Tod): Statue of Queen Sitiah dedicated by Tuthmosis III after her death (now in the Cairo Museum)[PM] Pillar in the tomb of Tuthmosis III (KV 34)  Queen Sitiah is depicted behind Queen Merytre and Tuthmosis III. Queen Sitiah's cartouche is followed by "maa kheru", hence she was likely already deceased when de inscription was drawn. Behind Queen Sitiah we see the King's Wife Nebtu and the King's Daughter Nefertari. Depiction of Satiah in Karnak  The Great Royal Wife Satiah, may she live! Followed by Menkheperre (Tuthmosis III) Photo courtesy of Dirk Lagall (click on image to see a larger image)   A stela in the Cairo Museum showing Queen Satiah behind Tuthmosis III.
