Nebet
Wife of Unas

Nebet was an

Unas-ankh, though this fact is disputed. In addition to Unas Anch, Nebet may also be the mother of Khentkaues, Neferut, and Nefertkaues.[2]

Tomb

Nebet was buried in a double mastaba with another queen, Khenut, next to the Pyramid of Unas in Saqqara.[3] The mastaba was excavated by Peter Munro.[4]

Titles

Nebet's titles are: "Great One of the hetes-sceptre" (wrt-hetes), "She who sees Horus and Seth" (mȝȝt-ḥrw-stẖ), "Great of Praises" (wrt-ḥzwt), "King's Wife, his beloved" (ḥmt-nsw mryt.f), "Consort and Beloved of the Two Ladies" (smȝyt-mry-nbty), "Attendant of the Great One" (ḫtt-wr), "Companion of Horus" (smrt-ḥrw), "Companion of Horus, his beloved" (smrt-ḥrw-mryt.f) and "Companion of Horus" (tist-ḥrw).

Even though she bears the titles of a queen, she is depicted in her tomb as a high-ranking woman without any of the insignia of a queen.

She had her own estates, which were administered by women.[5]
