Nebet (fl. c. 2360 BC) was an Egyptian queen, the wife of King Unas. She lived during the time of the Fifth Dynasty of Egypt. She is held the mother of the Crown Prince Unas-ankh, though this fact is disputed. In addition to Unas Anch, Nebet may also be the mother of Khentkaues, Neferut, and Nefertkaues. [1]
Unas had at least two queens, Nebet [35] and Khenut, [36] who were buried in a large double mastaba adjacent to their husband's pyramid. Unas and Nebet possibly had a son, the "king's son", "royal chamberlain", "priest of Maat" and "overseer of Upper Egypt" Unas-Ankh, [37] who died about 10 years into Unas' reign. [38]

The chapel for Nebet's mastaba contains four recesses. One bears a cartouche of Unas's name, indicating that it may have contained a statue of the king, whereas the others contained statues of the queen. [46] Directly north of the mastaba were the tombs for Unas's son Unasankh and daughter Iput.
