Summary
DescriptionQueen Ahhotep's coffin from Deir el-Bahri.jpg |
English: In 1881, a coffin intended for a Queen Ahhotep was found in a cache at Deir el-Bahri (TT 320, CG 61006). The coffin was inscribed with the titles "King's Daughter, King's Sister, Great Royal Wife, She who is joined to the White Crown, King's Mother." Although the queen's body was not found in this coffin, evidence including the title of "King's Mother" has led researchers to believe she was Queen Ahhotep (I) of the 17th/18th Dynasty of Egypt, mother of Pharaoh Ahmose I. |
