Hatshepsut was the name of one or several ancient Egyptianking's daughter(s) of the 13th Dynasty. There are three instances where a person named Hatshepsut is mentioned. It is not known if these items refer to the same or different individuals.
Three items referring to a King's Daughter Hatshepsut are known. All attestations seem to date to the early 13th Dynasty.
Stela of Nedjesankh/Iu, husband of King's Daughter Hatshepsutedit
At Abydos, a limestone stela was found mentioning a King's Daughter Hatshepsut.[1][2][3] In the stela it is stated that she was the daughter of a king's wife Nofret. The name of her royal father is not recorded here. The queen Nofret is not known from other sources.[4] On stylistic grounds, the stela can be dated to the 13th Dynasty.[5]
The stela belonged to the Commander of the [Ruler's] Crew Nedjesankh/Iu who had two wives, Hatshepsut, daughter of King's Wife Nofret, and a second wife with the name Nubemwakh. On the stela is also mentioned her daughter, the lady of the houses Nebetiunet. The stela has been published.[6]
Scarab-seal of King's Daughter Hatshepsutedit
A king's daughter Hatshepsut is also known from a scarab seal.[7] Ryholt [8] argues the seal is decorated with a sprial cord and can be classified under "Queen Type A", a style used in the time before Sobekhotep III, in the early 13th Dynasty.
Pyramid of King's Daughter Hatshepsutedit
Pyramidedit
At Dahshur, the Pyramid of King's Daughter Hatshepsut dates to the early 13th Dynasty and was discovered in 2017. It was built of mudbricks encased with white limestone. However, the limestone had been robbed and the mudbricks eroded, so the substructure remained. Outside the entrance was found an alabaster stone engraved with poorly executed funerary inscriptions written in hieroglyphs (pyramid texts[9]) and it had the cartouche of king Ameny Qemau. Thus, King's Daughter Hatshepsut seems associated with king Ameny Qemau. Archaelogist Chris Norton was involved with the excavation.[10] At the end of the Middle Kingdom, this pyramid would have been among the last pyramids built before the Second Intermediate Period.
Burial Chamberedit
A burial chamber beneath the pyramid was still sealed with a 10 ton granite stone. Once opened, the content inside was already heavily disturbed. Evidence indicate the burial chamber had been robbed before the chamber was sealed. Inside was found a decorated wooden box thought to be the canopic box naming the king's daughter Hatshepsut,[11] missing the four canopic jars. The box originally stood in a niche in the burial chamber, but was found on the floor. Also found was the fragmented remains of a wooden coffin (later partially reconstructed) carved in a style consistent with a high status female of the Middle Kingdom with a Hathor-wig.[12] There was no mummy, but bones found indicate the tomb was used.
