Welcome to my Palace! Sitamen I, the sister or half-sister of Ahmose. and carrried the title of "Gods Wife" in Amenhotep II's reign. With this queen, it is a bit difficult to surmise whom her mother was, though quite probably Neferure. She may still have been older then her husband, though not as excessively so as her predecessor. She was to produce the crown prince Amenhotep, and the heiress Yaret. Had Sitamen's status been less then royal, her daughter would not have become a chief queen. Yaret was briefly Thutmose IV's chief wife. This pairing may have produced Sitamen II, which recently started a controversy among egyptologists on exactly whom her father was. She was an heiress daughter. But was she a sister of Amenhotep III, being passed off as a daughter of Tiye? And did she become the mother of a King Smenkhkare?
Perhaps . . .
