“—As a widow, Ohemmaa (Queen) Tiye retained her royal status as Queen of Kemet (ancient Egypt), with the additional title of Queen Mother when her son, Akhenaten (Amenhotep IV), became the ruler of Kemet.
Ohemmaa (Queen) Tiye was elevated to the status of a Goddess by her husband, Amenhotep III, with a temple devoted to her worship in Nubia (modern day Sudan). In Nubia, she was worship as a manifestation of the Goddess Hathor, the Goddess symbolized by a crown with a sun disk between two horns and feathers.—“

The hair on Queen Tiye mummified head is hair extensions. The priests who do mummification for the Queens or female elites of Kmt always made sure they were buried with hair.
