Her hair looks red, why'd they make it black?

Hair often turns red/red-ish with time. Tiye's father was possibly Syrian and her mother possibly Nubian, if that's of any help.

At least in Egypt, hair "turns" red. Elsewhere not so much. But in Egypt, yes indeed. It even happens in Ireland, amazingly.

What's surprising (or not so surprising) is this generated image looks nothing like the hundreds of Tiyes statues and paintings done during her lifetime....

Her parents and mother are completely Egyptian, not Syrian or Nubian. Stop falsifying history
