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". 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. |
