Hieroglyphic name:
Name: Ay, Itinetjer-Aja, Kheperkheperure-Irimaat, Heqasekhepertawy and Horus name (Kanakht Tekhenkhau).
King Ay prevailed from 1323 B.C.E. until his death. Ay rose the toilet upon the death of Tutankhamun and apparently married Ankhesenamon, the boy kings widow. She does not look after the initial ecological succession of Aya, however. The queen who is presented in all lasting texts is Tey, a cheaper who had didst as a nurse to Nefertiti and had married Aya before his entree to the throne.
Aya, besides a worse, had been the Master of the Horse and Fan Bearer and then vizier and prime minister for Akhenaten (1353-1335 B.C.E.) at Amarna, but he came the shape of regrouping the government and the aggrandizement of the god Amun during his brief reign. His portrayals depict a man with a close, bony face and a long, light nose. Aya put up Karnak colonnade and a rock-cut enshrine at Akhmin. He established a mortuary temple at Medinet Habu in western Thebes but did not allow himself with a tomb there. In the Valley of the Kings a tomb was mounted for him and for Tey, but his rests have never been found. His tomb is long and right in design, with 4 corridors. An certain passage leads to a burial chamber, which was decorated with the text of the AM Duat. Ayas burial site included a red granite sarcophagus. He also had an raw tomb in Amarna. Aya assigned Nakhtmin (1), possibly a congeneric and a military commander, as his successor, but Horemhab put him aside and gone the last pharaoh of the dynasty.
