Ahmose-Sitkamose

Ahmose-Sitkamose

Ahmose-Sitkamose or Sitkamose was a princess and queen during the late 17th-early 18th dynasties of Egypt. Based on her name, she is likely to have been the daughter of Pharaoh Kamose. [dodson, p.129]

She probably married Ahmose I who was her uncle or cousin, since her titles include "King's Wife" as well as "King's Daughter" and "King's Sister." She was also the God's Wife of Amun, but it is likely that she was given this title only posthumously. [Dodson & Hilton, op.cit., p.129]

Sitkamose's mummy was discovered in 1881 in the Deir el-Bahari cache; it was in the coffin of a man named Pediamun who lived during the 21st dynasty. Her mummy was unwraped by Gaston Maspero on June 19, 1886. Sitkamose was about thirty years old when she died, Grafton Eliot Smith described her as a strong-built, almost masculine woman. The mummy was damaged by tomb robbers. [ [http://members.tripod.com/anubis4_2000/17A.htm#Ahmose-Sitkamose Mummy of Ahmose-Sitkamose] ]
