Behenu
Behenu was an Ancient Egyptian queen of the Sixth dynasty. She is thought to have been the wife of either Pepi I or of Pepi II.[1]
The remnants of her pyramid were first discovered in 2007, and news of the discovery of her burial chamber was made public in March 2010.[2] The complex was discovered in the vicinity of the pyramid of the Pepi II,[3] and it is thought that she was "most probably"[4] the wife of this pharaoh, but no inscription has been uncovered that would positively link her to him.[3]
A set of Pyramid texts was uncovered along with the burial chamber. This is only the second known instance of these ancient religious texts being used in association with a Queen instead of the pharaoh.[5]
