Khenemetneferhedjet
Khenemetneferhedjet ''(ẖnm.t nfr-ḥḏ.t)'' was an ancient Egyptian queenly title during the Middle Kingdom. It was in use from the 12th to the early 18th Dynasty. During the 12th Dynasty it also occurred as a personal name. Its meaning is “united with the white crown”. The White Crown was one part of the Double Crown of Egypt and is usually interpreted to have represented Upper Egypt, but it is also possible that while the Red Crown represented the king's earthly incarnation, the White Crown represented the eternal, godlike aspect of kingship., p.28 Famous bearers ;As a name: * Khenemetneferhedjet I, a wife of Senusret IIDodson & Hilton, op.cit., p.96 * Khenemetneferhedjet II, a wife of Senusret III * Khenemetneferhedjet III, a wife of Amenemhet III * Khenemetneferhedjet, daughter of Amenemhat II, mentioned on a seal along with her father; conceivably identical with Khenemetneferhedjet I. ;As a title: * 12th Dynasty: Aat, Hetepti (mother of Amenemhat IV), Khenemet an ...

Mentuhotep (queen)
Mentuhotep was an ancient Egyptian queen of the Second Intermediate Period, wife of pharaoh Djehuti. Her main title was Great Royal Wife. Another title was Khenemetneferhedjet (''she who is united with the white crown''). Queen Mentuhotep is known from parts of her burial equipment found between 1822 and 1825 near Thebes at Dra' Abu el-Naga' by the Italian excavator Giuseppe Passalacqua. He found a canopic chest with cosmetic boxes. The objects were later sold to Berlin. Around 1832 John Gardner Wilkinson copied inscriptions of a coffin naming a queen with the same name. The original coffin is now lost. On the coffin it is stated that she was the daughter of the vizier Senebhenaf and of a woman called Sobekhotep. The inside of the coffin was decorated with different spells, many of them belong to the Egyptian Book of the Dead. Her coffin is one of the earliest sources for this funerary composition. It is not fully clear whether the coffin and the canopic chest were found in the s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Twelfth Dynasty Of Egypt
The Twelfth Dynasty of ancient Egypt (Dynasty XII) is considered to be the apex of the Middle Kingdom by Egyptologists. It often is combined with the Eleventh, Thirteenth, and Fourteenth dynasties under the group title, Middle Kingdom. Some scholars only consider the 11th and 12th dynasties to be part of the Middle Kingdom. History The chronology of the Twelfth Dynasty is the most stable of any period before the New Kingdom. The Turin Royal Canon gives 213 years (1991–1778 BC). Manetho stated that it was based in Thebes, but from contemporary records it is clear that the first king of this dynasty, Amenemhat I, moved its capital to a new city named "Amenemhat-itj-tawy" ("Amenemhat the Seizer of the Two Lands"), more simply called, Itjtawy. The location of Itjtawy has not been discovered yet, but is thought to be near the Fayyum, probably near the royal graveyards at el-Lisht. The order of its rulers of the Twelfth Dynasty is well known from several sources: two lists re ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ineni (queen)
Ineni (or Ini, Inni) was an ancient Egyptian queen who lived during the Thirteenth Dynasty (around 1700 BC). She is so far only known from 21 scarabs and a seal impression from Kerma., p.108 She had the titles Great Royal Wife and '' she, who is united with the white crown''. She is one of the first ancient Egyptian queens whose name was written within a cartouche. This approach to writing a name was previously only used for kings' names and some kings' daughters holding special positions. The name of Ineni's husband is not known with any certainty. It is thought that it was king Merneferre Ay, as her scarabs are similar in style to that of this king.

Sobekemsaf (queen)
Sobekemsaf ''(sbk-m-z3=f)'' Grajetzki, Wolfram. ''Ancient Egyptian Queens: A Hieroglyphic Dictionary.'' London: Golden House Publications. (2005), p. 44 was an ancient Egyptian queen of the 17th Dynasty. She was the wife of pharaoh Nubkheperre Intef and sister of an unidentified pharaoh, probably Sekhemre-Heruhirmaat Intef, Sobekemsaf II or Senakhtenre Ahmose.Dodson & Hilton, p. 118 Her name ("Sobek protects him"Grajetzki, p. 304) is grammatically masculine. Although a female version of the name ''(sbk-m-z3=s)'' did exist, the queen is named Sobekemsaf in all sources, so it was not an error on the scribe's part, but she was probably named for an ancestor. Masculine names for females were not uncommon during the Second Intermediate Period. Attestations She is mentioned on a bracelet and a pendant, now both in the British Museum. In her family's hometown Edfu she is known from stelae. The first is Cairo CG 34009. The stela, belonging to an official called Yuf Yuf was an Anc ...

Amenemhat II
Nubkaure Amenemhat II, also known as Amenemhet II, was the third pharaoh of the 12th Dynasty of ancient Egypt. Although he ruled for at least 35 years, his reign is rather obscure, as well as his family relationships. Family Archaeological findings have provided the name of Amenemhat's mother, the "king's mother" Neferu III, but not the name of his father. Nevertheless, it is commonly assumed that he was a son of his predecessor Senusret I. An early attestation of Amenemhat may have come from the tomb of the namesake nomarch Amenemhat, buried at Beni Hasan. This nomarch, who lived under Senusret I, escorted the "King's son Ameny" in an expedition to Nubia, and it is believed that this prince Ameny was no other than Amenemhat II in his youth. The identity of Amenemhat's queen consort is unknown. Many royal women were buried within his pyramid complex, but their relationships with the king are unclear: a queen Keminub must be dated to the later 13th Dynasty, and three "king's ...

Nubhetepti
Nubhetepti (''nb-ḥtp.tỉ,'' "Gold Hathor">Hathor.html" ;"title="Hathor">Hathoris satisfied")Hermann Ranke: ''Die ägyptischen Persönennamen.'' Verlag von J. J. Augustin in Glückstadt, 1935., vol. I. p.192 was an ancient Egyptian queen with the titles ''king's wife'' and ''king's mother''. She is mainly known from Scarab (artifact), scarab seals, which are datable by style to the 13th Dynasty, around 1750 BC. She is also known from a statuette found at Semna. Her husband is unknown. However, king Hor had a daughter called Nubhetepti-khered. This translates as ''Nubhetepti-the-child'' and indicates that there was another (older) Nubhetepti around at the same time. For that reason it has been argued that Nubhetepti was the wife of king Hor and perhaps the mother of the princess Nubhetepti-khered. There are other scarabs of a queen Nubhetepti with the titles Great Royal Wife and she united with the white crown. These scarabs belong perhaps to another queen with the same name. R ...
