29 apr 1370 anni a. C. - Nebetah, Tiye's daughter

Descrizione:

Nebetah was a daughter of Queen Tiye and a younger sister of Akhenaten. Her name means Lady of the Palace, and like that of her elder sister Henuttaneb, was also frequently used as a title for queens.

She was possibly one of the youngest of Queen Tiye's children, since she does not appear on monuments on which her elder sisters do.

She is shown on a colossal statue from Medinet Habu, the seven-metre-high (23 ft) sculpture shows Amenhotep III and Tiye seated side by side, "with three of their daughters standing in front of the throne--Henuttaneb, the largest and best preserved, in the centre; Nebetah on the right; and another, whose name is destroyed, on the left.

She was never elevated to the rank of queen, and her only known title is King's Daughter Whom He Loves (the usual title for princesses). This, combined with the fact that after Amenhotep III's death she ceases to be mentioned, suggests that she died at an early age.

It was once suggested that she was renamed during the Atenist reforms started by her brother, and is identical with Princess Beketaten who was never mentioned before the reforms.
