Nimaethap
Nimaathap (also read as Nimaat-Hapi) was a Ancient Egyptian queen consort at the transition time from 2nd dynasty to 3rd dynasty. She is known to have enjoyed a long lasting mortuary cult.〔Joyce Tyldesley: ''Chronicle of the queens of Egypt: from early dynastic times to the death of Cleopatra''. Thames & Hudson, London 2006, ISBN 0500051453, p. 25 & 35 - 39.〕

Nimaathap's name appears on clay seal impressions discovered mostly in the tomb of king (pharaoh) Khasekhemwy, the last ruler of the 2nd dynasty. Other seals were found at Beit Khallaf at the burial sites of the mastaba tombs ''K1'' and ''K2'', the relationships of the original tomb owners to Nimaathap are unknown, though. Her name also appears on stone slab fragments from Heliopolis. These show Nimaathap kneeling at the feet of pharaoh Djoser, together with Djoser's wife, queen Hetepheres and Djoser's daughter, princess Inetkaes. The relief is evaluated as prove, that Nimaathap was still alive at that time and that she participated at least one Hebsed ceremony. Nimaathap's name does not appear in the pyramid necropolis of Djoser at Saqqara, there, her name was replaced by depictions of the god of grieve and mummies, Anubis.〔Toby A. H. Wilkinson: ''Early Dynastic Egypt''. Routledge, London 2001, ISBN 0415260116, p. 80 - 82, 94 - 97.〕〔
Nimaathap's name also appears in a tomb inscription of the high official Metjen, who held office under the kings Huni and Snefru. Metjen was "overseer of the ''Ka''-house of Nimaethap", thus, he overlooked and administrated the mortuary cult for the queen. Egyptologists take this as a proof how famous Nimaathap must have been during the Old Kingdom period.〔〔
