Amenemopet (princess)

Amenemopet was an ancient Egyptian princess (king's daughter) during the 18th Dynasty, probably a daughter of Thutmose IV.[1]

She is shown sitting upon the knees of her tutor Horemheb, in his Theban tomb (TT78).[2] Horemheb (not identical with the pharaoh of the same name) served under the reigns of Amenhotep II, Thutmose IV and Amenhotep III, so the princess could have been the daughter of any of these pharaohs, but Thutmose is the most likely.[1]

She died during the reign of Amenhotep III.[3] Later, her mummy was reburied in Sheikh Abd el-Qurna cache along with that of several other princesses: her probable sisters Tiaa and Petepihu; her niece Nebetia and Princesses Tatau, Henutiunu, Merytptah, Sithori and Wiay.[4] The tomb was discovered in 1857.[5]

gollark: It's not like they'd notice.
gollark: I really should have had my submission secretly open a reverse shell thing over SPUDNET (and alert me when doing so) so that I could try and exploit the sandbox system in the few minutes before ubq gets bored and kills it.
gollark: Well, we didn't have computers until 1950ish, and we didn't have portable computers good enough to run reasonable note things until 1990ish.
gollark: However, this is !!PHYSICAL!! and !!EXISTS!! thus bad.
