Aat was a royal woman of
the Twelfth Dynasty. The ranking consort of
Amenemhet III (1844-1797 B.C.E.), Aat died at the mature of 35 without producing an heir and was entombed at Dashur, an area about Memphis along with other royal women of Amenemhet III's house have. This pharaoh established a necropolis, or graveyard, at Dashur, likewise rearing a
pyramid that was doomed to become a Cenotaph, or symbolic gravesite, instead of his tomb. The pyramid displayed structural helplessnesses and was abandoned later being named
Amenemhet is Beautiful. Aat and gone royal women were buried in secondary chambers of the pyramid that remained intact by structural faults. Amenemhet developed another pyramid, Amenemhet Lives, at
Hawara in the
Faiyum district, the long marsh area in the great part of the nation. He was buried there with Princess Neferuptah, his daughter or sister.
