The known historical events of her life are presented, with a discussion of her involvement in the power transition linked with the controversial pharaoh Smenkhkare, and in the so-called Dahamunzu Affair. Finally, we consider the probability of identifying her mummified body and its associated challenges. Raw manuscript doi: 10.13140/RG.2.2.31450.30406
