Iaret was a Great Royal Wife from the middle of the Eighteenth Dynasty of Ancient Egypt.
laret was the daughter of Amunhotep II and wife of Thutmose IV. The transcription of her name is uncertain; it is written with a single cobra, which has a number of possible readings.
Her titles include: King's Daughter (s3t-niswt), Great King's Daughter (s3t-niswt-wrt), King's Sister (snt-niswt), and Great King's Wife (hmt-niswt-wrt). [1]
There are no known children for Queen Iaret. [2]
Iaret was the second great royal wife from the reign of Thutmose IV. Queen Nefertari is shown in inscriptions dating to the earlier part of the reign. A secondary wife of Thutmose IV by the name of Mutemwiya was the mother to the heir of the throne. [2]
Iaret is depicted on a Year 7 stela of Thutmose IV from Konosso. [3] The stela depicts Thutmose smiting enemies before the Nubian gods Dedwen and Ha. Queen Iaret is depicted standing behind him. [4]
Iaret's name is also known from inscriptions from the turquoise mines at Serabit el-Khadim in the Sinai from the same year. [5]
It is not known when Iaret died or where she was buried.
Nefertari, also known as Nefertari Meritmut, was an Egyptian queen and the first of the Great Royal Wives of Ramesses the Great. She is one of the best known Egyptian queens, among such women as Cleopatra, Nefertiti, and Hatshepsut, and one of the most prominent not known or thought to have reigned in her own right. She was highly educated and able to both read and write hieroglyphs, a very rare skill at the time. She used these skills in her diplomatic work, corresponding with other prominent royals of the time. Her lavishly decorated tomb, QV66, is one of the largest and most spectacular in the Valley of the Queens. Ramesses also constructed a temple for her at Abu Simbel next to his colossal monument there.
