Khenemetneferhedjet III was an Egyptian queen. She was the wife of theTwelfth Dynasty rulerAmenemhet III and was buried in hispyramid atDahshur. Her name is so far only known from one object, an alabaster vessel found in her burial. She had the titlesking's wife,member of the elite andmistress of the two countries. She was buried in a decorated, but uninscribed sarcophagus.
Her burial was found looted and only few remains were found.Dieter Arnold, who found her burial, originally interpreted her name as the queen's titleKhenemetneferhedjet and believed that the ritual vessel from her tomb did not bear any proper name.[1] However, more recent researchers draw attention to the fact that it is not common just to give the title of an individual and not the proper name, especially on rituals objects in a tomb chamber. Therefore, Khenemetneferhedjet is most likely the proper name of this queen.[2]
