Another confusing lady, Meryetyotes I. We know about her from a now lost false-door stela from Giza, which was recorded byt the old French archaeologist Mariette. She is said to have been the mother of Kawab and Hetepheres II. What is confusing about her position is that she is called "Great of Sceptre" (= King´s Spouse) both of Khufu (Gr: Cheops)and Seneferu. So is she the mother of a king or his wife? There are two more Meryetyotes coming later.

The other possible wife of Khufu, Henutsen, her name was found on a 26th Dynasty stela which was discovered in the temple of Isis, which had been build against one of the pyramids of Khufu´s queens already in the 21st Dynasty. But of course there are incertainties if this is true or not, one has to ask about the reliability of historical sources and annals in the 26th Dynasty! She was also suspected to be a daughter of Khufu as it says on the stela, but being the owner of a pyramid, they say she is more likely to have been a wife - as it was the habit of putting queens in smaller pyramids around the king´s much bigger one during the Old Kingdom.
