Hetepheres I

Dynasty:

Hetepheres I is believed by some to have been a daughter of Huni , the last king of the 3rd Dynasty, despite the fact that she never seems to have had the title "daughter of the king". At least, no monument has been found where she actually is called "daughter of the king".
History:
Hetepheres I was the wife of Snefro and the mother of Kheops . Her funeral furnishings, which were gold inlaid and covered in semiprecious stones, were all moved to a new place by Khufu's vizier, Hemeunu . Her mummy had been reburied, because the original sarcophagus had been stolen by grave robbers. She was honored by Khufu and his court. All of her furnishings and toilet articles have provided many details about the extent of the royal luxuries and comforts of her era. Some of the things that were found were razors that were made of layers of gold. All of the contents of her burial chamber can be found in both the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and the Egyptian Museum in Cairo.

Monuments:

A cache tomb discovered in February 1925 by George Reisner to the North East of the pyramid of Kheops at Giza contained some furniture and jewellery belonging to the queen. The sarcophagus found in this tomb was empty. It is assumed that Hetepheres' original burial must have been located at Dahshor , near the pyramids of her husband, Snofru, even though one of the Queen's Pyramids near the Pyramid of Kheops at Giza is also believed to have been intended for her. The funerary furniture of the queen is exhibited in the Egyptian museum.
