QueenMeresankh III (c. 2578 BC -c. 2520 BC[1]) was the daughter ofHetepheres II and PrinceKawab and a granddaughter of the Egyptian kingKhufu. She was the wife of KingKhafre.

Hetepheres also provided her daughter with a black granite sarcophagus decorated with palace facades for Meresankh's burial.[2]

Her tomb was discovered by archeologistGeorge Reisner on April 23, 1927,[3] with subsequent excavations undertaken by his team on behalf ofHarvard University and theMuseum of Fine Arts, Boston.

Her sarcophagus and skeleton are today located in theEgyptian Museum; the latter reveals that she was 1.54 metres (5'1") tall and between 50–55 years at her death.[1] An anthropological study suggested, that she might have suffered from bilateralsilent sinus syndrome.[4]

The tomb also contained a set of the earliest knowncanopic jars.[5][full citation needed] A limestone statue depicting Queen Hetepheres embracing her late daughter Meresankh was found in her tomb and is today located in theMuseum of Fine Arts inBoston.[6]
