Tanedjemet

Tanedjemet or more accurately Tanedjemy or Tanodjmy (tꜣnḏmy) is a ''King's Daughter (sꜣt-nsw), King's Wife (ḥmt-nsw), and Mistress of Upper and Lower Egypt (ḥnwt šmʿw tꜣ-mḥw'') from the New Kingdom period, only known from her tomb in the Valley of the Queens. While her identity and connections are unstated by any surviving sources, the circumstantial evidence has been interpreted to show that she was almost certainly a wife of Seti I and probably a daughter of Horemheb.

==Evidence and identification== Queen Tanodjmy's tomb in the Valley of the Queens was entered and studied by Lepsius in 1844, and documented in his Denkmäler aus Aegypten und Aethiopien. Lepsius misread the queen's name as Tahemy (tꜣḥmy) and did not notice her title of King's Wife, recording her merely as ''King's Daughter and Mistress of Upper and Lower Egypt''. He conjectured that she was a princess from Dynasty 20. This is how she was listed in his book of kings. The reading of the name was corrected by Henri Gauthier seven decades later. The new reading of the name suggested to Robert Hari and Elizabeth Thomas the possibility that this was none other than Mutnodjmet, the wife of Horemheb. This suggestion has been abandoned.
