Biography
For political reasons, Gilukhipa was sent to Egypt to marry Amenhotep III. The Egyptian pharaoh made a special issue of commemorative scarabs on the occasion of his marriage to Gilukhipa in his 10th regnal year around 1380 BC, where he recorded that the princess was escorted by 317 ladies-in-waiting, women from the Mitanni king's royal palace. Gilukhipa became a "King's Wife," but secondary to Amenhotep III's chief wife, Tiye.
Around 26 years later, her niece Tadukhipa also became Amenhotep III's wife.
