THE TETI CEMETERY AT SAQQARA
Vol VII: The Tombs of Shepsipuptah, Mereri (Merinebti), Hefi and Others

Naguib Kanawati and Mahmud Abder-Raziq

This group of tombs were cleared by the Egyptian Antiquities Organisation in the early 1980s, but, with the exception of the tomb of Shepsipuptah which appeared although briefly in earlier publications, remained totally unpublished. The tombs provide interesting information on Teti's reign, with Shepsipuptah being married to the king's daughter, Mereri's tomb reused by a woman called Merinebti and Hefi's tomb showing all the architectural and artistic features characteristic of the very beginning of the reign. All the tombs contained the skeletal remains of their owners.

Naguib Kanawati is Professor of Egyptology, Director of the Australian Centre for Egyptology, Macquarie University, Australia.
Professor Mahmud Abder-Raziq University of Suez Canal, Egypt.
