Manhata

Manhata
   A wife of Thutmose III. She was buried with her cowives, Manuwai and Maruta, in a tomb in Wadi Gabbanat alQurud. Their names have also been transliterated as Menhet, Menwi, and Merti. The tomb was discovered almost intact by illicit diggers in 1916, and the bulk of the objects were sold to the Metropolitan Museum of Art from 1918 onward. The names indicate that the ladies were of Caananite or Syrian extraction and were probably acquired as a result of the king’s levantine conquests.
