Satiah (also Sat-Iah, Sitiah ) was an ancient Egyptian queen at the time of the New Kingdom in the 18th Dynasty .

background

family

Her mother Ipu held the office of royal nurse . Possibly her father was Ahmose Pen-Nechbet , whose career began as a civil servant under Ahmose I and until Thutmose III. continued its course. So far there is no evidence of descendants of the Satiah, but there is a possibility that Prince Amenemhat , who before his father Thutmose III. died her son was.

Your life

As a royal consort, Satiah held the title of Great Royal Consort as well as that of Amun's consort . However, whether she actually held the office of the wife of God of Amun is considered to be rather unlikely in Egyptology . Hatshepsut had first named her daughter Neferu-Re as the wife of God of Amun .

Neferu-Re practiced until her death in the 23rd or 24th year of reign (around 1456 BC) of Thutmose III. their office. After her death, Thutmose III replaced their name in a relief representation through that of the Satiah. The reason for this remains unclear. As a result, Satiah came posthumously to her title of God's consort of Amun . Satiah died during the reign of Thutmose III, who after her death married Meritre Hatshepsut and made him Great Royal Wife .
