Pyramid of Khentkaus II at Abusir, principal consort of Neferirkare and mother of two later fifth-dynasty pharaohs (Neferefre and Niuserre). Base 25 metres per side, original height approximately 17 metres. The pyramid was discovered in 1976 by Czech archaeologist Miroslav Verner; the funerary complex includes a small chapel and a mortuary temple expanded under her son Niuserre. The dedication inscriptions identify Khentkaus II by the same exceptional title used for the earlier Khentkaus I — “mother of two kings of Upper and Lower Egypt” — making her one of only two women in Egyptian history to bear it. The Abusir Papyri preserve the daily ritual schedule of her cult.
A queen of the fifth dynasty held the same exceptional title as a queen of the fourth — and the daily rituals of her cult were still being recorded a hundred years after she died.
