	Hetepheres II...HetepheresII
		Hetepheres II must have been one of the longest living members of the royal family of the 4th Dynasty.
		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.
		Hetepheres II had her own Mastaba in the eastern cemetery of Giza which later on converted into a tomb for her daughter.

		She was the wife of Ta'o and the mother of Ta'o II and Princess Ahhotep I. She was a commoner and is referred to as the "Mother of the New Kingdom" because she had a very strong influence over both her son (Ta'o II) and her grandsons (Kamose and 'Ahmose).

	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'.

		Khafre's marriage to Hetepheres III, a granddaughter of Khufu, most likely was meant to solidify his claim to the throne.

		MB II (often 12th dynasty inspired) additions, enlargements to EB III (as I shall argue was the case at Jericho), superior to - though perhaps earlier than in some cases - the necessarily poorer nomadic MB I culture.
		While it is true that a thick layer of MB II wash at the foot of the tell indicates that at least part of the MB II city was eroded away, this evidence does not prove that the MB II city covered the entire tell, as is usually assumed.
		Compare also a small shell shaped, granulated pendant [20000] bearing the cartouche of Senwosret II (location of discovery not stated) with one bearing the name ring of Senwosret III (from Lisht)(Both items now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art), both of which are nearly alike.

	BBC - History - From Warrior Women to Female Pharaohs: Careers for Women in Ancient Egypt
		As 'Controller of the Affairs of the Kiltwearers', Queen Hetepheres II ran the civil service and, as well as overseers, governors and judges, two women even achieved the rank of vizier (prime minister).
		But whilst Hatshepsut's credentials as the daughter of a king are well attested, the origins of the fourth female pharaoh remain highly controversial.
		Following the death of her husband Seti II in 1194 BC, Tawosret took the throne for herself and, over a thousand years later, the last of Egypt's female pharaohs, the great Cleopatra VII, restored Egypt's fortunes until her eventual suicide in 30 BC marks the notional end of ancient Egypt.

	Dynasty 4 - Snefru, Cheops, Radjedef, Chephren, Menkaure, Shepseskaf,
		Snefru was almost certainly married to Hetepheres I, who would have been at least his half sister, probably by a more senior queen, in order to legitimize his rule.
		It is ironic indeed that for all the magnificence of his pyramid, his funeral boat, and the wonders of the funerary furnishings that were discovered belonging to his mother, Queen Hetepheres, wife to Sneferu, the only portrait we have of Khufu is a tiny 3-inch high statue sculpted in ivory.
		Though as late as the New Kingdom, Ramesses II seems to have had no qualms about taking some of the casing from his pyramid at Giza for use in a temple at Heliopolis, by Egypt's Late Period, the cults of the fourth dynasty kings had been revived, and Giza became a focus of pilgrimage.

		The mummy of Tuthmosis II was found at Deir el-Bahri in a replacement coffin (the original owner is unknown) covered in the remains of his original wrappings.

	Guardian's Ancient Egypt Discussion Board: Queen's Pyramids
		I find it intriguing, that Hetepheres II should take care of her daughter's burial, who after all had been a queen and a king's mother.
		Both Khaimerernebti I and II were king's mothers, Hetepheres II (also a queen of Khafre, maybe first married to Djedefre) and Meresankh III weren't (according to Dr. Derry Meresankh III was 25 years old when she died, rather unexpected, Hetepheres II died in her late sixties).
		Maybe we could then say that Khaimerernebti II died early during the king’s reign, and was buried in her older namesake’s tomb (variant : it was the same queen, her complex was just expanded).

	What Race Were the Ancient Egyptians?
		It seems, though, that Hetepheres II, one of Khufu's daughters, was a blonde, perhaps the first of actual record.
		She is shown with bright yellow hair, striped horizontally with red, in a wall painting in the tomb of Meresankh III, and certain scholars draw the conclusion that she therefore must have had a mother with the same coloring -- probably a foreigner, since all the Egyptian women were brunettes.
		If you want to make trouble, of course, you can say that the picture does not prove either that Hetepheres II's hair was like that in real life or that her mother was a blonde who was buried in G I-b [the middle small pyramid, in front of the Great Pyramid at Giza--CK].

		The German scholar Alexander Scharff, observed that she was described as being a Priestess of the Goddess Neith, a deity who was sacred to the blond-haired Libyans of the Delta region.
		He goes on to state that her name is precisely the same as that of Queen Hetepheres II, who is also shown as fair-haired, in a painting on the wall of Queen Meresankh III's tomb.
		He deduced from all of this, that the two women may well have been related, and he suggested that Egypt during the Age of the Pyramids, was dominated by an elite of blonde women.
