Ahmose-Sitkamose


Ahmose-Sitkamose, Egyptian princess from the late 17th and early 18th Dynasties. Its exact filiation and its chronological frame are unknown, since there are hardly any vestiges of it. Other forms of his name: Sitkamosis, Satkamosis, Sitkames ... The meaning of his second name (Daughter of Kamose) seems to indicate to us that his father was the last king of the XVII Dynasty, the fallen Kamose. If so, when her father died, the princess would still be a child, and if she had any prerogative on the way to succession, the wartime of that time made her uncle or brother, the young Amosis I the one to occupy the throne . On the other hand, perhaps it was daughter of Ahmose and Ahmose-Nefertari, and its second name was put in honor of the deceased Kamose.

It is not known whether Ahmose-Sitkamose even married a Pharaoh (Ahmose or Amenhotep I would have been the most likely candidates, depending on who his father was), but it is unlikely, since nowhere appears with the title of Great Real Wife. However, if he possesses the title of God's Wife, which meant carrying the greatest dynastic legitimacy possible in his veins. The mummy of Ahmose-Sitkamose was one of the many found in the DB320 hiding place with illustrious pharaohs, the families of the Theban kings-priests and also of their parents, grandparents, uncles and brothers, the royal family ahmosida who staged the birth of the XVIII Dynasty.
