Hetephernebti , also Hetep-her-nebti , was the wife of the ancient Egyptian king ( Pharaoh ) Djoser (around 2700 BC), the first ruler of the 3rd Dynasty ( Old Kingdom ).
Hetephernebti is known from two groups of objects. It appears on rough steles that were found at the Djoser pyramid complex in Saqqara , and on the fragments of a shrine from Heliopolis . There she appears accompanied by Inetkaes and another lady, whose name has broken off, which is why her identity is being discussed by Egyptologists. Hetephernebti may have been buried in the Djoserkomplex.
This queen bore the titles "Who is allowed to watch Horus" ( M33t-Ḥr.w ), " Great to Hetes-Scepter " ( Wr.t-hts ) and "King's daughter", which means she was probably sister or half-sister of her husband.
