Biography
Benerib [1]
in hieroglyphs

Benerib was a wife of pharaoh Hor-Aha,[2] but she was not the mother of his heir, Djer. The mother of king Djer is named as Khenthap, another wife of Hor-Aha. Benerib is thought to be the wife of Hor-Aha based on ivories found in her tomb at Abydos which show his name. A fragment of an ivory box with the names of Hor-Aha and Benerib was also found at Abydos and is now in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts.[3]

Benerib's titles are not known, and neither is the identity of her parents.

Benerib was buried at Umm el-Qa'ab in tomb B14.[4]

gollark: Don't think you can do that unless you have two GPUs.
