Note
|
Henutsen was a daughter of Pharaoh Sneferu and his third wife. Henutsen married her elder half-brother Khufu. Her name is known only from a 16th dynasty stela, found next to an Isis' Temple which was built during the reign of the 20th dynastynear Pyramid G 1c (which was hers). The children of Henutsen and Pharaoh Khufu are identified based on the appearance of Henutsen in several mastabas in Giza. Stadelman proposed that one of Henutsen's sons, Khufukhaf I, actually later became Pharaoh Khafre. If so, Khafre may haveadded pyramid G1c to the pyramid complex of his father Khufu to have his mother interred there. Henutsen is further attested in the tomb of Minkhaf I (G 7430 - 7440). Pyramid G 1c was originally not a part of Khufu's pyramid complex, as its southern side is aligned not with the side of the Great Pyramid, but with Khufukhaf's mastaba tomb nearby. Pyramid G 1c was at some point thought to possibly be asatellite pyramid, because it did not come with a boat pit like pyramids G 1a and G 1b. It was later determined to be an unfinished pyramid However which was constructed in a hurry. Henutsen is thought to have been buried in the tomb. Dr. RainerStadelmann believes Khufukhaf is the same person as Khafre and the pyramid was built by him for his mother, but this identification is doubtful. |
