Sitdjehuti

Sitdjehuti/Satibu, also Satdjehuti; "Daughter of Thoth" (died 1505 BC)

Her father might have been King Ahmose and was a sister to King Tao and the queens Ahhotep I and Ahmose Inhapy. She was married to her (half-)brother Tao and bore him a daughter, Ahmose.

Titles Sitdjehuti's titles include King's Wife, King's Sister, and King's Daughter.

King's Wife. She is mentioned on the mummy shroud of her daughter Ahmose, which was found in the Valley of the Queens (QV47). Ahmose is called the King's Daughter and Queen's Sister. This states that Ahmose was the daughter of King Seqenenre Tao and Sitdjehuti.

King's Daughter. Her mother appear on her coffin as Tetisheri, indicating that her father may have been Senakhtenre Ahmose. If so, she named her daughter after her father, princess Ahmose. It would also make her the sister of Ahhotep.

King's Sister. It is not confirmed who her king-brother was. Presumably it was her husband Seqenenre.

Death Sitdjehuty died during the reign of Amenhotep I or Thutmose I. As indicated by her linen, Ahmose-Nefertari donated the cloth for her burial. At that time Ahmose-Nefertari held the title King's Mother, referring to Amenhotep I. The style of her burial is early D18, and some features became common with Thutmose I onwards. She most likely died during the reign of Amenhotep I. She must have been a woman of relatively old age, having outlived Ahmose I and possibly Amenhotep I.

Burial Sitdjehuti's mummy was discovered around 1820, along with its coffin, golden mask, a heart scarab, and linens donated by her niece Queen Ahmose-Nefertari.

The linen is inscribed with the text: Given in the favour of the god's wife, king's wife and king's mother Ahmose Nefertari may she live, so Satdjehuty.

The coffin lid is now held at the Staatliche Sammlung für Ägyptische Kunst, Munich, while the mummy mask is located in the British Museum (EA 29770).
