Zahi Hawass

Women in the Giza cemetery were typically buried with their husbands or in nearby tombs. Two women, however, were found in their own tombs. One is identified as Repyet-Hathor, a priestess of Hathor, by an inscription on a small offering basin (shown here, compare with photos of statuette and decorated tomb door) placed in front of the false door of her tomb.
