- Amenemopet (princess)
Amenemopet was an
Ancient Egypt ian princess during the 18th dynasty, probably a daughter ofThutmose IV [dodson, p.137] .She is mentioned in the Theban tomb of her tutor Horemheb (TT78). Horemheb (not identical with the pharaoh of the same name) served under the reigns of
Amenhotep II , Thutmose IV andAmenhotep III , so the princess could have been the daughter of any of these pharaohs, but Thutmose is the most likely [Dodson & Hilton, op.cit., p.137.] .She died during the reign of Amenhotep III [Joann Fletcher: Egypt's Sun King: Amenhotep III. Duncan Baird Publishers, London, 2000. ISBN 1-900131-09-9 p.144] . Her mummy was reburied in Sheikh Abd el-Qurna along with that of several other princesses: her probable sisters Tiaa and
Petepihu ; her nieceNebetia and Princesses Tatau, Henutiunu, Merytptah, Sithori and Wiay [Dodson & Hilton, op.cit., p.135] . The tomb was discovered in1857 .ource
