| I warned you at the start of Brugsch's text printed here that the early "Egyptologists" knew very little about many of their subjects and that such "very little" was often very wrong. The Third Intermediate Period (1070-712 (we assign the 25th Dynasty to the Late Period)), especially the Upper Egyptian line, was not "fashionable" and thus scientifically neglected. The galleries of the National Museum which house the wonderful and in all the world unique baldachin of Asetemachbjt B and most of the D21a HPA family is little known and seldom visited, generally only because a visitor lost his way. Tourist guides do not take their groups to this part of the museum ("King Tut" and the world's most popular display of dead humans are on the opposite side). Edward R. Loring/CESRAS/2012 |
not a queen!
Isetemkheb D
utter nonsense
Pinodjem I
but not for Isetemkheb D
This single and not high
ranking beneface indicates
that Isetemkheb B died young.
The inscriptions on the
baldachin, showing her father,
HPA Masaharta as dead and
her grandfather, Khakheperre
Paynedjem I as king allow us
to date her death between
1046 and 1037 BCE
