Khenthap

Khenthap (also written Khenet-Hapi) was a possible queen of Ancient Egypt. She is said to have lived during the 1st Dynasty. Her historical figure is very obscure, since there are no contemporary sources for her name. She appears only once in a much later inscription.

== Evidence == Egyptologists and historians are still debating as to who Khenthap was as a historical figure. The archaeologically recorded seal impressions from first dynasty tombs at Abydos never mention her. She appears only in an inscription on the Palermo stone, a stela made of black schist that lists the kings from Narmer (1st Dynasty) up to king Neferirkare (6th Dynasty). Additionally, the stone lists the mother of each king. The inscription spells out Khenthap's name, but doesn't record any of her titles (except for that of a "mother").
