谁嫁给了Kemsit?

Kemsit

Kemsit

Kemsit (fl.c. 2025 BC) was an ancient Egyptian queen consort, the wife of king Mentuhotep II of the 11th Dynasty. Her tomb (TT308) and small decorated chapel were found in her husband's Deir el-Bahari temple complex, behind the main building, along with the tombs of five other ladies, Ashayet, Henhenet, Kawit, Sadeh and Mayet. Most of them were priestesses of Hathor, so it is possible that they were buried there as part of the goddess's cult, but it is also possible that they were the daughters of nobles the king wanted to keep an eye upon.

Only parts of her sarcophagus have been found, these are now in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo.

The queen was also depicted on reliefs in the funerary temple of her husband Mentuhotep II. These depictions are today heavily destroyed, but it seems that she appeared in a scene showing a row of royal women. On the preserved fragments, she is shown behind queen Kawit. Her title in the depiction is King's Beloved Wife.

Kemsit may have been of Nubian origin, as indicated by depictions that show her face as black or dark pink.

Her titles were: King's Beloved Wife (ḥmt-nỉswt mrỉỉ.t=f ), King's Ornament (ẖkr.t-nỉswt), King's Sole Ornament (ẖkr.t-nỉswt wˁtỉ.t), Priestess of Hathor (ḥm.t-nṯr ḥwt-ḥrw).

Mentuhotep II

Mentuhotep II

曼图霍特普二世(Nebhotepre Mentuhotep II ,又譯门图荷太普二世孟图霍特普二世;前2046年—前1995年)是埃及第十一王朝法老,他是前任法老因提夫三世與妃嬪伊雅哈所生的兒子。他自己的妻子是「国王的母亲」(king's mother)——泰姆(Tem)。其他的妻子有他的姊妹尼斐魯二世和另外五个女子(其中有幾位可能是努比亞人),都與他一起被埋葬在他的陵墓裡。他只有一個兒子,就是繼任的曼图霍特普三世。

曼图霍特普二世在位時曾多次改名,反映出當時可能曾經發生一些重大的政治事件。他登基時的名字為「尼布赫帕特拉」(Nebhepetre),是中王国时期(公元前2040—前1786年)的首位君主。在《都靈王表》裡記載他在位51年。

曼图霍特普二世在位第14年,在埃及發生了一場起義。這場起義可能與南部第十王朝的赫拉克利奥坡里支持者相關,但現時我們所知道的甚少。不過,我們知道他是古埃及自第六王朝之後第一位重新統一古埃及的君主:他结束了第一中间期,只是我們不知道這件事發生在何時。南部的努比亞是在第一中間期時取得獨立地位,而曼图霍特普二世因是因為對統一南方的計劃發號司令而知名。除此以外,還有證據指曼图霍特普二世曾向巴勒斯坦用兵。他把國家重新組織,委派一位維齊爾掌管國家的行政。

曼图霍特普二世死後,被埋在一個大的墓室裡,這個墓室是他在生時指令在戴爾巴哈里興建的。在上埃及多個地方都有曼图霍特普二世所興建的神廟及小教堂。

曼图霍特普二世一直都被視為一位半神半人的領袖。這種觀點使古埃及統治者的地位從此永遠的轉變。
