Behenu

Behenu was an ancient Egyptian queen of the Sixth Dynasty. She is thought to have been the wife of either Pepi I or of Pepi II.^[1]

The remnants of her pyramid were first discovered in 2007, and news of the discovery of her burial chamber was made public in March 2010.^[2] The complex was discovered in the vicinity of the pyramid of the Pepi II,^[3] and it is thought that she was "most probably"^[4] the wife of this pharaoh, but no inscription has been uncovered that would positively link her to him.^[3]

A set of Pyramid Texts was uncovered along with the burial chamber. This is only the second known instance of these ancient religious texts being used in association with a queen instead of the pharaoh.^[5]
