Nehmes Bastet

Nehmes Bastet was a temple singer in Ancient Egypt. She lived during Egypt's 22nd Dynasty (approximately 945–712 BC) according to an inscription in the tomb (KV64) discovered in the Valley of Kings in 2012. Her tomb was unearthed by a team from University of Basel in Switzerland by chance.[1][2] Nehmes was the daughter of the high priest of Amun.[3] The upper edge of the tomb was found on 25 January 2011.
