Udjebten or Wedjebten was an ancient Egyptian queen consort, a wife of Pharaoh Pepi II of the Sixth Dynasty.[1]

Titles

[edit]

Her titles include that of Hereditary Princess (ỉrỉỉ.t-pˁt), which indicates she was of noble birth.

All other titles known for Wedjebten are related to her role as wife of the king: She who sees Horus and Seth (m33.t-ḥrw-stš), Great one of the hetes-sceptre (wr.t-ḥts), King's Wife (ḥm.t-nỉswt), Beloved King's Wife of Men-ankh-Neferkare (ḥm.t-nỉswt mrỉỉ.t=f mn-ˁnḫ-nfr-k3-rˁ), Attendant of Horus (ḫt-ḥrw), Consort of the Beloved of the Two Ladies (zm3.t mrỉỉ-nb.tỉ).[2]

None of her titles state that she was a King's Daughter, so she may not have been a sister to pharaoh Pepi II like his other wives Neith and Iput II.

Burial

[edit]

Wedjebten was buried in a pyramid in Saqqara.[3] Her pyramid complex included a pyramid, a small mortuary temple and a cult pyramid. Wedjebten's complex was surrounded by two perimeter walls. An inscription found at the sites mentions that the top of Wedjebten's pyramid was encased in gold.[4] The walls of her burial chamber were lined with a set of Pyramid Texts.[5]
