area dated back to Early 18th Dynasty or the Liberation war period.
Dr. Mostafa Waziry (Secretary-General of the Supreme Council of
Antiquities) said that the stela has a scene in the upper lunette shows two
persons making an offering to Queen Tetisheri and Queen Ahmos-Nefertari. The
stele shows Queen Tetisheri titles as “Mother of the King” and “Lady of the Two
Lands”.
The importance of this discovery that it shows the activities of the
Kings in Upper Egypt to secure their territories during their way with the
Hyksos. This discovery is a part of the series of discoveries that could
re-date the temple to an older date than it was previously known.
Mohamed AbdBadie said “It is known that Queen Tetisheri is the mother of
King Seqenenre and the grandmonth of King Ahmose I and she is the one who
inspired them the liberation spirit. Tetisheri was very well respected and dignified
by the Egyptians for her great role in the Egyptian history.”
Mr. Abd El-Monem Said, Director of Aswan Antiquities said “The two
Queens are of the most important female figures in the history of ruling
familes in Egypt and had many stelae and chapels dedicated to them all over Egypt.”
