Neferheteperes (Princess)

Neferheteperes (c. 2566-2558 BC) princess (Queen?) of Fourth Dynasty, Old Kingdom. Neferheteperes was the girl of King Djedefre, the replacement of King Khnum-Khufu. It has been speculated that she was besides a queen, the mother of King Userkaf, the abandon of the Fifth Dynasty, whose mother bore the same name. If this were the face, she would be specially significant in the publicity of the solar religion, which gone markedly more important in the Fifth Dynasty under the influence of the priests of Heliopolis. A story, current in the late Old Kingdom, ascribed the fatherhood of the first pharaohs of the Fifth Dynasty to the god Ra by a mortal woman, Radjedet. Part of a statue of Neferheteperes was learned at Abu Roash.
