Hetepheres was an ancient Egyptian queen, known primarily as the wife of Pharaoh Sneferu and the mother of Pharaoh Khufu, who built the Great Pyramid of Giza. Her tomb, discovered in 1925 at the site of Giza, contained a wealth of artifacts and is significant for insights into royal burial practices and the status of women in ancient Egypt. Hetepheres is often associated with the cult of the goddess Hathor, and her name means "the one who comes from Heter," linking her to divine lineage.
