Yuya's origins go back to the city of Akhmim, where he belonged to the nobility and was a man of the army, in addition to his work as a priest of the god "Min", the main deity in Akhmim. Yuya held several important positions in the palace, such as the overseer of horses, and his title "God Father" might refer to the distinguished cycle as the king's guardian.
Toya held many religious titles, as well as "the Queen's mother, the great wife of the King", a title she cherished so much, and repeatedly recorded it on her coffins and collections.
Both Yuya and Tuya were highly regarded, most notably their tomb in the Valley of the Kings on the western mainland in Luxor, a place that was designated only for the tombs of kings.
