Description

This study examines a previously overlooked group of people from the time of Amenhotep III (1390–53 BCE), who have come into focus since the latest excavations in the Valley of the Kings and the Theban Necropolis: royal daughters and foreign women who lived together at the Pharaoh's court, traveled with the ruler, performed ritual tasks, and were ultimately buried together. Together they formed a lifestyle, work, and cultural community.
