Tashakheper (transliteration: dwꜥt-nṯr tꜣ-šꜥ-ḫpr, "Divine Adoratrice, She is Established in Manifestation") was an ancient Egyptian God's Wife of Amun of the Twenty-second Dynasty during the Third Intermediate Period.
Name[]
As a God's Wife of Amun, Tashakheper's name is written in a cartouche. Like her predecessors in office, she made use of the prefix; Duatnetjer, which simply means Divine Adoratrice. It remains unknown whether Tashakheper - like other God's Wives of Amun - also took on a praenomen.
Family[]
Tashakheper's father is Pharaoh Osorkon II and her mother is Queen Karomama.
Biography[]
Tashakheper is attested in the Genealogy of Ankhefenkhonsu, a document from the time of Takelot III, where she is referred to as a God's Wife of Osorkon. Kenneth Kitchen suggests that this means that she held the position of God's Wife of Amun during the reign of her father, Osorkon II.[1] She may have served only briefly as God's Wife and died unexpectedly, because the next God's Wife of Amun is Karomama-Meritmut, her probable sister.
