Title: The pyramid tomb of Hetep-heres and the satellite pyramid of Khufu
Description: Philipp von Zabern, 1985. Linnen band. Pp: 90. Deutsches Archäologisches Institut - Abteilung Kairo. Sonderheft 19 - llustrated with b/w photographs, two foldout profiles of the pyramids and in-text drawings and plans of the excavation sites.n"Reisner's explanation for the burial of Hetep-heres I (found intact, except for the queen's body, in an unmarked tomb) is contested and an alternative explanation is developed. The unfinished pyramid cutting immediately south of, and on line with, the queen's tomb was begun for a pyramid superstructure intended for Hetep-heres I, rather than having been abandoned because of her tomb as Reisner suggested. The first queen's pyramid, which was the initial member of the Great Pyramid's Eastern Cemetery, was moved to the location of GI-a so as to align with a satellite pyramid being prepared for Hetep-heres's son, king Khufu. The change in plan for the queen's pyramid may have resulted in the removal of the queen-mother's body from her original tomb." (Author). ISBN: 9783805308144. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.
