Hathorhotep

Hathorhotep was an ancient Egyptian king's daughter at the end of the Twelfth Dynasty during the Middle Kingdom. Hathorhotep ("Hathor is satisfied") is only know from the fragment of a canopic vase found in pyramid of king Amenemhat III (who ruled about 1860 BCE to c.1814 BCE) at Dahshur. She was most likely buried in the pyramid and might be a daughter of Amenemhat III. However, the inscription on the fragment shows incomplete hieroglyphs. That means that animals are shown without legs, to avoid that these animals could attack the deceased. This type of writing was only used from the reign of Amenemhat III, in the Twelfth Dynasty, onward into the Thirteenth Dynasty. Therefore, it is also possible that Hathorhotep was a daughter of another, later king.
