Nedjeftet

Nedjeftet was a queen of the ancient Egyptian 6th dynasty . Your family classification is not certain. However, since all known names were found in the pyramid district of Pharaoh Pepi I , it can be assumed that she was one of his wives.

The grave of Nedjeftet has not yet been discovered. Finds of relief fragments that bear her name, however, lead to the conclusion that it could be in the royal necropolis south of the Pepi I pyramid . So far , French archaeologists have uncovered eight queen pyramids there.
