Ankhesenpepi IV (fl. c. 2250 BC) was anancient Egyptian queen, a wife of KingPepi II of theSixth Dynasty. She was the mother of the crown prince Neferkare.[1] Pepi II also had several other wives.
Her titles were:King's Mother of Ankh-djed-Neferkare (mwt-niswt-‘nkh-djd-nfr-k3-r’),Mother of the Dual King (mwt-niswt-biti),King’s Wife of Men-ankh-Neferkare (ḥmt-niswt-mn-‘nḫ-nfr-k3-r’),King's Wife, his beloved (ḥmt-niswt mryt.f),This God's Daughter (z3t-nṯr-tw),Foster Child ofWadjet (sḏtit-w3ḏt).[2]
Ankhesenpepi IV was buried inSaqqara.[3] They must have lacked the resources needed for a burial since she did not have a pyramid built for her. Her sarcophagus, which was made of reused stone, was found in a storeroom belonging to the mortuary temple of QueenIput II.[4]
It's proposed that the pyramid ofQakare Ibi was originally that of Ankhnespepi IV and was only later appropriated by Ibi, given that It is very similar in plan, dimensions and decorations to the pyramids of the queens ofPepi II, the last great pharaoh of the Old Kingdom.[5]
