Mereret (12th Dynasty)

Mereret (or Meret) was an Ancient Egyptian King's Daughter known from her burial next to the Pyramid of Pharaoh Senusret III (ruled about 1878 BC to 1839 BC) at Dahshur.

On the west side of the gallery were further burials arranged for women with the title king's daughter.

However, the robbers missed two boxes for jewellery which contained an outstanding collection of jewellery filled with personal adornments found in 1894 by Jacques de Morgan.

Her name, with different spellings, appears on several scarab seals found in the jewellery box.

From the position of her burial it might be concluded that she was the daughter of King Senusret III.
