Khamerernebty II is said to be the daughter of Khamerernebty I in her tomb. Khamerernebty I is thought to be the mother of Menkaure based on a partial inscription on a flint knife in the mortuary temple of Menkaure and hence a wife of King Khafre. This would imply that Khamerernebty II was the daughter of King Khafre and Khamerernebty I. [2]
Khamerernebty I was an ancient Egyptian queen of the 4th dynasty.She was probably a wife of King Khafre and the mother of King Menkaure and Queen Khamerernebty II.It is possible that she was a daughter of Khufu, based on the fact that inscriptions identify her as a King's daughter.
Khentkaus I, also referred to as Khentkawes (fl. c. 2500 BC), was a royal woman who lived in ancient Egypt during both the Fourth Dynasty and the Fifth Dynasty. [2] She may have been a daughter of king Menkaure, the wife of both king Shepseskaf and king Userkaf (the founder of the Fifth Dynasty), the mother of king Sahure.
Menkaure or Menkaura (Egyptian transliteration: mn-kꜣw-rꜥ; c. 2550 BC - c. 2503 BC) was a king of the Fourth Dynasty of Egypt during the Old Kingdom.He is well known under his Hellenized names Mykerinos (Ancient Greek: Μυκερῖνος, romanized: Mukerînos by Herodotus), in turn Latinized as Mycerinus, and Menkheres (Μεγχέρης, Menkhérēs by Manetho).
The pyramid was built during the Fourth Dynasty of Egypt, presumably for one of the wives of Menkaure. The American archaeologist George Andrew Reisner has speculated that the queen buried in the pyramid may have been Menkaure's half-sister, Shepsetkau , the daughter of Meresankh III and Khafre . [ 2 ]
The purpose of marriage was to have more children and descendants of the family. [5]In the New Kingdom, there was a saying that: "Take a wife while you are young That she make a son for you She should care for you while you are youthful It is proper to make people Happy is the man whose people are many He is saluted on account of his progeny."
Lehner et al. (2011) suggest that, although concrete evidence is lacking, the occupants of the southern homes of the town may have served either or both Khentkaus' and Menkaure's mortuary cults. Despite this, the layout and orientation of Menkaure's and Khentkaus' structures suggest a separation between their monuments and estates. [44]
