Nebetnehat( "Lady of the sycamore tree"; the name was one of the attributes of the goddessHathor) was anancient Egyptianqueen consort during the mid-18th Dynasty.She was theGreat Royal Wifeof an unidentifiedpharaoh.Her name is only known from an alabastercanopicfragment found in thevalley of the Queens.[1]The canopic jar was part of a find referred to as the Tomb of the Princesses.[2]

Granted the fact that she held the title of Great Royal Wife, she could have been someone relatively close toAmenhotep IIIperhaps a daughter or some other female relative.
