Ahmose-Sitkamose

Satkamose (also Ahmose satellite Kamose Sitkamose, satellite Kamose ) was an ancient Egyptian queen during the late 17th or early 18th dynasty.

Family

Your ancestry is discussed controversially in Egyptology. Aidan Dodson holds Satkamose based on their name for the likely daughter of King Kamose and wife Ahmose I, who could then have been her cousin or uncle. On reliefs Satkamose is called a sister of Amenhotep I, who in turn was a son of Ahmose I.. However, the title of king sister for Satkamose is not occupied.

With regard to its name interpretation also exist several theories. If she is the daughter of Kamose, it was after his death, not very old and thus a possible heir to the throne in connection with a marriage Ahmose I. On the other hand, the second part of their name, Kamose of Ahmose I and Ahmose Nefertari later to honor of the late Kamose have been added. It is unlikely that Satkamose married because the title Great Royal Wife is not attested. Ahmose Nefertari took over after the death of Ahmose I. Amenhotep I, initially for the business of government in representation, as Amenophis I. at the time of his succession to the throne was still a minor. With him Ahmose Nefertari founded the necropolis of Deir el -Medina.

Title

Satkamose bore the title princess and God's Wife of Amun. If Satkamose have been the daughter of Kamose, the title of God's Wife of Amun you would have been awarded posthumously.

Death

Satkamose was only about 30 years old. Your mummy was found in 1881 in the Deir el- Bahari in the coffin of a Pediamun, who lived during the 21st dynasty. Gaston Maspero had found Satkamoses mummy on June 19, 1886 without mummy bandages; entwined with a flower garland and a pall on which was an inscription. Grave robbers had previously damaged the mummy in several places. Grafton Elliot Smith described Satkamoses physique similar to that of a man.
