Sithathor

Sathathor was an ancient Egyptian princess. She is known primarily from a labeled scarab in a grave complex next to the pyramid of Sesostris III. (about 1872 BC to about 1852 BC) found at Dahshur. Therefore, it is often assumed that she was the daughter of this ruler. Sathathor was under King Sesostris III. or Amenemhet III. buried.

The sarcophagi, however, were all robbed and it remains mostly unknown, who was buried there. In the actual main course was the first excavator of the plant, Jacques de Morgan, however, still find two chests containing very rich and high quality jewelry and were apparently overlooked by grave robbers.
