The Children of Adam and Eve

Hetephernebti was a queen of the third dynasty of ancient Egypt. She was the only known wife of Pharaoh Djoser.

Hetephernebti and a King's Daughter Inetkaes were named on stelae found around Djoser's Sakkara pyramid complex, and on a Heliopolis relief showing Djoser accompanied by the two of them.

Among her titles were “one who sees Horus” and “great of sceptre”, both common for important queens in this period, also, she was called “King's Daughter”, which means she was possibly a daughter of Djoser's predecessor Khasekhemwy, thus asister or half-sister of her husband.
