Nebetnehat ("Lady of the sycamore tree"; the name was one of the attributes of the goddessHathor) was anancient Egyptian queen consort during the mid-18th Dynasty. She was theGreat Royal Wife of an unidentifiedpharaoh. Her name is known from alabastercanopic fragments, one now in the Petrie Museum and thought to come from theValley of the Queens.[1] Another fragment was found in a tomb (WB1) for several members of the royal family at the Wady Bairiya, her most likely burial place.[2][3]
Granted the fact that she held the title of Great Royal Wife, she could have been someone relatively close toAmenhotep III, perhaps a daughter or some other female relative.
