Summary

Description
English: In 1881, a coffin intended for a Queen Ahhotep was found in a cache at Deir el-Bahri (TT 320, CG 61006). The coffin was inscribed with the titles "King's Daughter, King's Sister, Great Royal Wife, She who is joined to the White Crown, King's Mother." Although the queen's body was not found in this coffin, evidence including the title of "King's Mother" has led researchers to believe she was Queen Ahhotep (I) of the 17th/18th Dynasty of Egypt, mother of Pharaoh Ahmose I.

Egyptian works that are currently in the public domain in the United States are those whose copyright had expired in Egypt on the U.S. date of restoration (January 1, 1996) pursuant to the provisions of the old 1954 law which was in effect at the time.
