Iset (daughter of Amenhotep III)
- Iset (daughter of Amenhotep III)
Iset or Aset was one of the daughters of Ancient Egyptian pharaoh Amenhotep III of the 18th dynasty and his Great Royal Wife Tiye. She was a sister of Akhenaten. [Aidan Dodson & Dyan Hilton, The Complete Royal Families of Ancient Egypt, Thames & Hudson (2004), p.154-155]
Her name is the original Egyptian version of the name Isis. It is likely she was the royal couple's second daughter (after Sitamun). She became her father's wife in Year 34, around Amenhotep's second sed festival [ [http://euler.slu.edu/Dept/Faculty/bart/egyptianhtml/kings%20and%20Queens/AMENHOTEP%20III.htm Anneke Bart: Amenhotep III] ] .
She appears in the temple at Soleb with her parents and her sister Henuttaneb, and on a carnelian plaque (now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City) with Henuttaneb, before their parents. A box found in Gurob and a pair of kohl-tubes probably belong to her. [Dodson–Hilton, op. cit.]
After the death of her father she is not mentioned again.
