Tisethor

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A modern representation of Tisethor based on her depiction in her tomb

Tisethor ("Companion of Horus") was a princess of ancient Egypt. She may have been a daughter of Princess Kekheretnebti and granddaughter of the King Djedkare Isesi.[1][2][3] Her father is not known. She was a niece of Neserkauhor, Meret-Isesi and Isesi-ankh.

She barely reached the age of puberty when she died, and some estimates suggested she may have been 17-18 at the time of her death.[4] She was buried in the mastaba of her mother.[5]
