She was the daughter of the Divine Adoratrix Huy. There is a statue of her mother, the Divine Adoratrix Huy, in the British Museum (BM 1280). Huy has a little girl on her lap named The King's Daughter Nebet-Iunet". On the side we see several more children: The King's Son Menkheperre , The King's Daughter, Isis (depicted at a smaller scale than the others), The King's Daughter, Meritamon (name in a cartouche) The King's Daughter, Meritamon (without cartouche) Many of her representations were reused by her daughter in law Tiaa. Her disgrace under her grandson is suggested by the apparent non-use of her tomb in the Valley of the Kings (KV 42).  Scene from a tomb in Ab-del-Qurna. The scene seems to depict a statue of Merytre Hatshepsut. Lepsius Abt III, Band 5, Bl. 63 Images and inscriptions referring to Merytre-Hatshepsut. Temple

KV 42. This tomb was never used for her burial. Her name appears
on items from the foundation deposit though.
The Theban Mapping Project gives the following information: "Since the discovery of the foundation deposits bearing the name of Hatshepsut-Meryet-Ra in 1921, there is no doubt concerning the original owner of KV 42. The tomb was not finished or used by the queen, the wife of Thutmes III. Instead, she might have been buried in KV 35, the tomb of her son, Amenhetep II. KV 42 may have been reused by Sennefer, mayor of Thebes, Senetnay, his wife, and Baketra, the "king's adornment," during the reign of Amenhetep II or used as a cache for materials from their burials elsewhere. The tomb was plundered in antiquity." (TMP KV42) |
