Note
|
Unas was the last pharaoh of Egypt in the 5th Dynasty (2498-2345 BC), third of four dynasties in the Old Kingdom Period. He is believed to have had two queens, Nebet and Khenut, based on their burials near his tomb. According to Manetho he probably had no sons and with his death, the Fifth dynasty came to an end. Teti's queen, Iput, is believed to have been the daughter of Unas. A pink granite gateway in Unas' mortuary Temple bears the inscription of the names and titles of Teti, indicating that part of the Temple was completed after Unas's death. The causeway of Unas's pyramid complex includes a bas relief showing how they transported a palm column by boat on the Nile. |
