Tabekenamun ( Tabakenamun ) was a Nubian queen dated to the Twenty-fifth Dynasty of Egypt . [2]
Tabekenamun was a daughter of King Piye and may have been a queen consort to her brother Taharqa . She is known from Cairo Statue 49157 from Karnak . [3]
Others have suggested Tabekenamun was the wife of Shabaka . She was a King's Daughter, King's Sister and King's Wife. In addition, she was a priestess of Hathor , Mistress of Tepihu (Aphroditopolis) and a priestess of Hathor of Iunyt ( Dendera ) as well as a priestess of Neith . The priestly offices could suggest she was a daughter of one of the Libyan Pharaohs. [4]
