Princess of Egypt
Iset or Aset was a Princess of Egypt.
Iset was one of the daughters of ancient Egyptian pharaoh Amenhotep III of the 18th Dynasty and his Great Royal Wife Tiye . She was a sister of Akhenaten .[ 1] Thutmose I .
Her name is the original Egyptian version of the name Isis . It is likely she was the royal couple's second daughter (after Sitamun ). She became her father's wife in Year 34 of Amenhotep's reign, around Amenhotep's second sed festival .[ 2]
She appears in the temple at Soleb with her parents and her sister Henuttaneb , and on a carnelian plaque (now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art , New York City ) with Henuttaneb, before their parents. A box found in Gurob and a pair of kohl -tubes probably belonged to her.[ 3]
After the death of her father she is not mentioned again.
