Inti (princess)

Inti was a princess of the ancient Egyptian 6th Dynasty ( Old Kingdom ) and a daughter of Pharaoh Teti .

Origin and family

Inti was a daughter of Pharaoh Teti, the first ruler of the 6th Dynasty. Teti had at least three royal wives: Iput I , Chuit and a woman whose name is incomplete and was perhaps Chentkaus. It is not known which of these women was Inti's mother. Numerous siblings or half-siblings Intis are known: their brothers Userkare and Pepi I , who both ascended the Egyptian throne after Teti's death, as well as several sisters who were all named after Teti's mother Seschseschet : Nebtinubchet Seschseschet , Seschseschet Scheschit , Seschseschet Sheschti and Sethorseschet .

title

Inti had the following titles: King's Daughter ( Sat-nesut ), natural King's daughter (Sat-nesut-en-chetef) , eldest King's daughter (Sat-nesut-tepi) , oldest natural King's daughter and oldest beloved natural King's daughter. The list of their titles in her tomb is also accompanied by the names of the Teti pyramid and the Pepi I pyramid , which suggests that Inti was in some way associated with these complexes.

tomb

Inti was buried in a mastaba near the Teti pyramid in Saqqara . This has an inscribed lintel and inscribed door reveals as well as a false door .
