Henuttaneb's name means Lady of All Lands and was also frequently used as a title for queens. It is likely she was the third daughter of her parents (after Sitamun and Iset). She is shown on a colossal statue from Medinet Habu.[1] This huge seven metre high sculpture shows Amenhotep III and Tiye seated side by side, "with three of their daughters standing in front of the throne--Henuttaneb, the largest and best preserved, in the centre; Nebetah on the right; and another, whose name is destroyed, on the left."[2] She also appears in the temple at Soleb and on a carnelian plaque (with Iset, before their parents). Her name appears on three faience fragments.[3] Sitamun (also Sitamen, Satamun ) c. ... Nebetah was one of the daughters of Ancient Egyptian pharaoh Amenhotep III of the 18th dynasty and his Great Royal Wife Tiye. ...

It is unclear whether Henuttaneb was elevated to the rank of queen like Sitamun and Iset. She is nowhere mentioned as King's Wife, but on the aforementioned carnelian plaque her name is enclosed in a cartouche, a privilege which only kings and their wives were entitled to. In Egyptian hieroglyphs, a cartouche is an oblong enclosure with a vertical line at one end, indicating that the text enclosed is a royal name, coming into use during the beginning of the Fourth Dynasty under Pharaoh Sneferu. ...


After the death of her father she is not mentioned again.
