	The Ancient Egypt Site - Hetepheres II
		Hetepheres II must have been one of the longest living members of the royal family of the 4th Dynasty.
		A mark of her affection for Meresankh may perhaps be seen in the fact that Hetepheres II had her own mastaba in the eastern cemetery of Giza converted into a tomb for her daughter.
		She finally died early in the reign of Shepseskaf, the son and successor of Mykerinos and had thus witnessed the reigns of 5 (perhaps 6, if she was born during the reign of Snofru) kings of the 4th Dynasty.

	The Mysteries of Queen Hetepheres' Burial in Egypt
		Reisner concluded from this evidence that Hetepheres was a wife of Sneferu, as well as the mother of Khufu.

		He believes that Hetepheres died early in her son's reign, and was buried in this hastily dug shaft, similar in style to 3rd Dynasty tombs.

		He was married to Hetepheres who is thought to have been the daughter of his predecessor Huni.
		Sneferu and Hetepheres were the parents of Egypt's most famous pyramid builder, Khufu.

	Worcester Art Museum - The Royal Descendant Hetepheres
		Hetepheres was the mother of the pharaoh's hairdresser, Re-Wer, who was honored in a stone tomb at Giza.
		Carved in high relief from a single slab, this life-size statue of Hetepheres was originally part of a family sculptural group of five figures that included her husband, son, and grandchildren.
		Enlivened by the subtle modeling of swelling breasts, slender waist, and hips revealed beneath a sheer garment, the rigid, artificial pose of the figure- fixed for eternity- is typical of Old Kingdom art.

	Eternal Egypt - Gold Dish of Queen Hetepheres
		A gold dish of the Queen Hetepheres, that was found among her burial treasury.
		The original burial of Queen Hetepheres, wife of King Senefru, the founder of the Fourth Dynasty, was at Dahshur near the northern pyramid of her husband.
		It seems that this tomb was partly robbed and, thus, the funeral equipment was transferred to Giza, to be reburied near the pyramid of her son King Khufu.

	The Mother of the Pyramid
		The placement of a similar chamber close to the casing in Khufu's main pyramid, as hypothesized by both Hawass and Gantenbrink would perhaps stand a better chance of not being robbed as it is positioned high on the pyramid's smooth face rather than near the ground.
		Although the body of Hetepheres has never been found, her funeral goods were discovered in a deep shaft north of GI-a, one of the satellite pyramids of Khufu.
		Hetepheres, then, like the sky goddess Nut, would be positioned above the body of her son the Osiris-King as the 'Mother of the Pyramid'.

		The MFA recently opened its elaborately refurbished Hetepheres Gallery, filled with such treasures as a dress made of several thousand faience beads and a stone mastaba, or tomb entrance, with carved images including one of recalcitrant taxpayers supplicating before the king, who was, in effect, the IRS.
		Most of the artifacts in the MFA's Hetepheres Gallery are from the queen's era, not her actual tomb, or they're reproductions, which is why the furniture seems in awfully good shape for pieces that spent 4,400 years underground.
		Based on his extremely detailed drawings of the gold pieces, Gerte re-created the slanted bed Hetepheres was supposed to use in the afterlife, along with her thronelike chair and the litter on which she would be carried.

		Hetepheres would have known the funerary complexes of Djoser, the Bent, the Red and the Maidum pyramids.
		Therefore, the suite of furniture from the tomb of Hetepheres in the MFA is a reproduction of the reconstructed pieces, which was made in the late 1930s and sent to Boston.
		Included in the new gallery, in addition to the Hetepheres furniture, is a mastaba wall with two false doors that is particularly interesting.

	The tomb of Queen Hetepheres
		Hetepheres was closely bonded within the royal family (she is thought to have been the daughter of Huni (last ruler of the 3rd dynasty)), she was also the sister and wife of Sneferu and the mother of Khufu.
		By a stroke of good fortune, the tripod leg of a photographer's camera broke through the ceiling of the tomb (the photographer was part of the expedition led by George A. Reisner, an American archaeologist).
		Reisner himself suggested a possible reason - if her original tomb had been robbed and her mummy destroyed at that time, her sarcophagus was sealed and the truth withheld from Khufu about mother's fate (to prevent him from suffering further grief).

	The Ancient Egypt Site - Hetepheres I, the Mother of King Kheops
		Hetepheres I is believed by some to have been a daughter of Huni, the last king of the 3rd Dynasty, despite the fact that she never seems to have had the title "daughter of the king".
		It is assumed that Hetepheres' original burial must have been located at Dashur, near the pyramids of her husband, Snofru, even though one of the Queen's Pyramids near the Pyramid of Kheops at Giza is also believed to have been intended for her.

		He evidently attained the position of pharaoh through his "marriage" to Hetepheres I, and he was sufficiently unconnected with the royal family of Huni to bring about a change in dynasty.
		Meanwhile, Queen Hetepheres I married a consort-king and among their children were the daughters Hetepheres II and Meresankh II.
		In the meantime, Hetepheres II (and not another woman identified as "Hetepheres A") had joined in a consummated marriage with Ankh-haf, who was perhaps the son of Sneferu and a consort-queen.

	EgyptSearch Forums: Meresankh III the so-called blonde
		Lehner suggests that the middle pyramid was then used for Hetepheres I. In an interview given to The Associated Press11 on January 2, 1998, Dr. Hawass made the remarkable statement that: One description of Meryetes said she had blonde hair, adding that she may have come from Libya.
		Caroline Ransom Williams long ago pointed out that the red lines across the yellow surface of her headdress must be interpreted as conventional drawing lines, while I have called attention to a similar headdress worn by Zoser?s queen, the lady of the Bankfield Stela, and the mother of Khufu-khaf.
		But the reading was a mistake, and the chamber inside is so small that it could never have contained a burial, much less the elaborate funerary equipment which was later removed from her original (and still undiscovered) tomb and re-buried near the great pyramid of her son Khufu at Giza.
