Biography

U29 t A i i
Djaty
in hieroglyphs

Djaty was a son of Queen Meresankh II, daughter of King Khufu. Djaty's sisters were Nefertkau III and Nebty-tepites.[2]

Because Djaty had the title King's of his body, it is assumed he was a son of one pharaoh. It is known that Meresankh II married a king after death of her first husband Horbaef. This king would be a father of Djaty - either Djedefre or Khafra. On the other hand, Djaty maybe had his title because he was a grandson of Khufu.[3]

Djaty was married and had a son also called Djaty. It is possible that he had more sons.[4]

Burial

After his death, Djaty was buried in the tomb known as G 7810.[5] This is a mastaba at Giza. In the tomb his wife and son are depicted. Djaty II is described as the eldest son of Djaty I.
