Biography

Nebty-tepites may have been a daughter of Prince Horbaef and his half-sister Meresankh II. She had a sister Nefertkau III and a brother Djaty. After Horbaef's death, Meresankh married a King, either Djedefra or Khafre and became a queen consort. So, Nebty-tepites was a niece and step-daughter of her mother's second husband.[http://gizapyramids.org/view/people/asitem/search@/27/alphaSort-asc?t:state:flow=e0f2175d-68f9-440f-8a07-4d9b7a9e0c7f&t:state:flow1=124940fb-c875-4dee-be8c-1d513eb1f217 Resiner, op.cit., pp.146-149] gizapyramids.org
