Although she never had the title 'king's wife', she must have had a special status; it is possible she was regarded as a future ruler.
Her tomb was found intact by an Egyptian team under Nagib Farag and Zaky Iskander in 1956 which was located about 2 kilometres from the pyramid of her father and still contained her jewellery, a granite sarcophagus, three silver vases and other objects.
Identical inscriptions were found on the sarcophagus of Queen Hatshepsut,[5] who lived about 300 years later.
Objects belonging to her include a sphinx of black granite and the fragment of a statue found on Elephantine.
