Ahhotep II

Ahhotep II was an ancient Egyptian queen, and likely the Great Royal Wife of Pharaoh Kamose.

The title of King's Mother is only found on the coffin from Deir el Bahari and not on the funerary equipment from Dra' Abu el-Naga'.

[2] Ahhotep II was buried in Dra' Abu el-Naga' and rediscovered in February 1859 by workmen employed by Auguste Mariette.

An inscribed ceremonial axe blade made of copper, gold, electrum and wood was decorated with a Minoan style griffin.

[2] The tomb of queen Ahhotep II at Dra' Abu el-Naga' contained both a gold and a silver boat, made by pharaoh Ahmose I.

[2] In this interpretation, the pharaoh Seqenenre Tao had three queen consorts: Kamose married his sister Ahhotep II and were then the parents of Ahmose I, Ahmose-Nefertari and Ahmose-Sitkamose.
