Keminub was an ancient Egyptian woman with the title king's wife. [1] She is only known from her burial next to the pyramid of Amenemhet II at Dahshur. For that reason, it has been suggested she was his wife. [2]
Keminub was buried together with a treasurer named Amenhotep, who is dated to the 13th Dynasty. The style of her coffin and burial is close to burials of the 13th dynasty. She may therefore have been a queen of this dynasty instead. The name of her husband is so far unknown. [3] On the fragments of her coffin appears one of the earliest attestations of chapter 151 of the Book of the Dead.[ citation needed]
