She outlived her husband and was buried during her son's reign. It is likely that she was of commoner origin, as there is no evidence in her grave that points to a royal origin. She is only named on her sarcophagus and on an offering table. Her titles are "King's beloved wife" (ḥmt-nỉswt mrỉỉ.t=f), King's Mother" (mwt-nỉswt), Mother of the King of Upper and Lower Egypt (mwt-nỉswt-bỉt), Great of Sceptre (wr.t-ḥt=s).[2]
Her tomb was discovered in 1859.

gollark: Also nonequatorial regions.
gollark: 1.4kW/m² *maximum* ignoring things like the atmosphere, night, solar panel efficiency, solar panels not using all radiation ever, and weather.
gollark: It's very bizarre, given that according to random internet stuff I looked at polygraphs do not actually work as intended.
