Iset (daughter of Thutmose III)

Iset was a princess of ancient Egypt during the Eighteenth Dynasty. She was one of the daughters of Pharaoh Thutmose III and his Great Royal Wife, Hatshepsut Merytre.

Limited information directly about Iset has survived. She is primarily known from representations on the tomb of her tutor, Sennefer, Mayor of Thebes, where she appears alongside her parents and siblings. These depictions provide valuable evidence for the royal family during this period.

Iset's siblings included Amenemhat, Meryamun, Nebetiunet, and possibly others. Her position within the royal family suggests a privileged upbringing and potential influence, although the specifics of her life and role within the court remain largely unknown due to the scarcity of surviving records. She likely participated in religious ceremonies and received a formal education befitting a princess of the Eighteenth Dynasty.

The circumstances and date of her death are not definitively known, but she likely died before her father Thutmose III. Her existence contributes to our understanding of the complexities of the Egyptian royal family during a period of significant power and prosperity.
