Sathathormery
Ancient Egyptian woman
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sathathormery [1] (or Sathathormeryt, or Sathathormer) was an Ancient Egyptian woman known from her inrtact burial within the pyramid complex of king Amenemhat II at Dahshur. The burial was found in 1895 by excavations under Jacques de Morgan.
The burial of Sathathormery was found within a gallery tomb consisting of two burials, the other one belonging to the king's daughter Itaweret. Sathathormery does not bear any titles on her funerary equipment. Her status remains unknown, but she was perhaps a member of the royal family. [2]
According to the short description published by de Morgan Sathathormery was buried within an outer stone sarcopgaus, a second wooden coffin is inscribed only on the inside. There was perhaps an inner mummiform coffin too. Weapons and scepters were placed next to her body. A chamber next to the coffin chamber contained a round table, a box with vessels for oils in eight vessels, a wooden figure of a swan and an inscribed canopic box. [3]
