		Dynasty, KV 14, a tomb in the Valley of the Kings, was built for Tawosret, a royal woman who was the Hmt nswt wrt of Seti II, became the regent of his successor, Siptah, and, after Siptah’s death, reigned as pharaoh in her own right for approximately two years.
		Accordingly, new rules of decorum and modes of expression were developed for the decorative program of KV 14 in order to convey the gender fluidity necessary for Tawosret’s postmortem regeneration, while also accommodating her changing roles and status.
		The purpose of this paper is to take Hornung’s observations further by examining the specific decorative features that convey Tawosret’s gender fluidity and placing them within the context of the conventions and rules of decorum that determined the form and decoration of the tombs of Ramesside kings, queens, and princes.

	SidonExcavation.org: Season 2004
		The 2005 season revealed a faience vessel bearing in cartouches the name of Pharoh Queen Tawosret, the erstwhile wife of Sety II at the very end of the 19th Dynasty.
		Tawosret’s independent rule was brief and appears to have lasted less than two years.
		The Tawosret vessel was not an item of trade but a precious gift for ritual use, for which Egyptian faience vessels were typically produced.

	EgyptSites - Tawosret & Sethnakht
		Queen Tawosret was the Chief Wife of Seti II who reigned briefly as pharaoh at the end of Dynasty XIX after the death of her son Siptah.
		Tawosret's burial chamber is a rectangular room with four small annexes off the corners.
		Whilst Tawosret's mummy has never been positively identified (possibly mummy 'D' in the KV35 cache) her sarcophagus was found elsewhere having been reused for a Ramesside prince.

		If it is true that the mummy of Horemheb was taken to KV14, the tomb of Tawosret (completed by Setnakht of the 20th Dynasty), then there could have been some potential for error on the part of the reburial commission.
		The prenomen of Horemheb is "Djeserkheperure Setepenre", that of Setnakht "Userkaure Setepenre", and that of Seti II, the husband of Tawosret, "Userkheperure Setepenre".
		Hartwig Altenmuller construes this as Tawosret moving her late husband in her own tomb but Aidan Dodson is doubtful that the body would have been placed in a tomb under construction.

	[b-hebrew] The Exodus' mention in Egyptian Annals ?
		But I still believe that Thouris is a combination of Tawosret, Seti II and Setnakht--all because of the term "wsr" in their nomina or prenomina--which was evidently construed as having the connotion of "rich"--which it did--but not in the case of names.

		It is also possible there might be faint inscriptions or graffitti on the walls giving some indication of the tomb's original occupant.
		The jewellery found by Davis bore the names of Sethos II of the 19th Dynasty and his queen, Tawosret.
		But the style of the tomb, Nick believes, is 18th Dynasty, and it is not impossible that it had originally been cut for the reburial of one of the Amarna royal women - Nefertiti, perhaps, or Kiya, or one of Akhenaten's daughters: Meritaten, Meketaten, Ankhesenpaaten.

	Egyptian Dreams :: View topic - Kingmaker Bay
		Then the Demotic "Romance" of the Setne Chaemwase Cycle has a certain tale of wonder about his equally magical son "Si-Osiris", besting the Nubian kings, only to vanish like a shadow from the court and leaving his father to grieve until a second son was born to him, named Weser Montu Hor.
		Maybe the fact of the son of Chaemwaset's falling out of grace as being similar to the setting aside of the rightfull heir to the throne by Amenmesse, caused these two factions to ally.
		The floods have caused the loss of the plaster however and now the only traces of decoration remain in places where the artists were working on thinner plaster or where the chiseling is cut into the bedrock.

		Seti II had three wives: Takhat II, Tawosret (who was the mother of crown prince Seti-Merenptah), and Tiaa (mother of Ramesses-Siptah.) Apparently, Seti-Merenptah predeceased his father, and Siptah eventually became king.
		Biographical data: Siptah was the son of Seti II and Queen Tiaa.
		He mentions Spalinger's theory (published in BiOr 39/3-4 [1982], 283) that Tawosret, Siptah's stepmother, was responsible for the erasures of the king's cartouches, and that Chancellor Bay subsequently had them restored.

	EgyptSites - Destroyed Temples
		To the north of the Temple of Merenptah which includes the new open-air museum, is the site of a destroyed temple built for the reigning queen Tawosret, wife of Seti II, and her successor Siptah.
		Although virtually nothing is known of the structure, foundation deposits found at the site include faience plaques and jar-fragments dating to the reign of Seti II.
		This is a second temple attributed to the ruler, the first being the one he usurped from Queen Tawosret to the south.

		Although she doesn’t have any details at the moment, Jane Akshar, Luxor resident and blogger, has noticed that temple of Tawosret is being excavated.
		Tawosret was the Great Royal Wife of Seti II and step mother of Siptah, and may have acted as regent, as Siptah was very young at the time of his father’s death.
		It is located about half way between the temples of Thutmoses IV and Merenptah.

	British Museum - Gold earring of Tawosret
		This earring is one of a pair found in the tomb of a royal child in the Valley of the Kings.
		It bears the name of Tawosret, the principal queen of Sety II and regent during the reign of his successor Saptah.
		As Saptah had no obvious successor, Tawosret then took the throne.

		Only 25 pieces of votive faience inscribed with royal names were recovered from the temple, compared with nearly 500 from Serabit el-Khadim.
		The royal names mentioned are Seti I, Ramesses II, Merenptah, Seti II, Tawosret and Ramesses III, IV, and V (Schulman in Rothenberg 1988.145).
		At Serabit el-Khadim the date range of the 'royal name' faience is from Amonhotpe I to Ramesses VI, but the Ramesside rulers seem to have dedicated a much greater quantity and wider variety of inscribed faience than the 18th dynasty rulers did (1.4.3).

		Spalinger attributes these alleged activities to the 19'th Dynasty because, according to his view, 20'th Dynasty rulers questioned Siptah's legitimacy, and would presumably have taken little interest in repairing the inscriptions in his tomb.

		Subsequently, though, her successor Sethnakht completed the tomb, relocating Seti II (and Tawosret?) to another smaller tomb nearby.
		He plastered over Tawosret and Seti’s names where they appeared and replaced them with his own name.
		The Tawosret/Sethnakht tomb was perhaps the largest that we saw, with several chambers between the entrance and the burial chambers.

		A statue of a man at Tell Edfu was found with fly pendants around his neck.
		Amongst the royals who owned the flies were XIXth dynasty Queen Tawosret, three wives of Tutmosis III, as well as the most renowned fly pendants from Queen Ah-hotep’s burial at Dra’ Abul Naga.
		In Nubia, gold-headed fly amulets were common (Wilkinson 1971:99), and in the Greek Island of Cyprus, examples of fly shaped pendants were found that were imported, probably form Egypt (Williams 1924: 62).

		Today we finished clearing the upper layer and started work on the compacted bottom deposit.
		Almost the first sweep of Mohammed's trowel turned up a beautiful gold pendant which I immediately recognised as part of the so-called "necklace of Queen Tawosret".
		Davis and Ayrton, when they excavated the tomb chamber in 1908, found a whole series of these exquisitely modelled decorations, and now we had another.

		There are also scenes from a procession during the Festival of Tuthmose I, including men bringing gifts or supplies and Userhet adoring the royal barque.
		Another wall shows Userhet with his wife Hatshepsut (also called Shepset) and his mother Tawosret in a beautiful scene depicting the goddess of the sycamore tree (Hathor or Mut).
		There are also scenes of Userhet kneeling before the gods - Thoth presents him to Osiris and Anubis and then he appears before an offering table.

		The air inside is stale, hot, thick and ancient.
