Hatshepsut (king's daughter)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hatshepsut stele

Hatshepsut ( foremost of the noble women ) was a king's daughter of the 13th Dynasty ( Second Intermediate Period ) of ancient Egypt around 1750 BC. Chr.

Hatshepsut is known from various sources. She appears on a stele where her mother, the king consort Nofret, is named. Her husband is a certain Nedjesanch / Iu there. The style of the stele dates back to the 13th Dynasty. Her royal father remains unknown, and the king's wife Nofret is not otherwise known. A king's daughter by the name of Hatshepsut is also known from a scarab , which can also be dated to the 13th dynasty.

In 2017, a 13th Dynasty pyramid was discovered in Dahshur . There was a stele with pyramid texts on which King Ameni Qemau is named. In the pyramid there was also a canopic box that belongs to a king's daughter Hatshepsut. An anthropoid coffin was found in the grave. It is currently not known whether all three documents belong to one person or whether there were several royal daughters with this name.
