Duaenhor (
Family
Duaenhor is thought by some to be a son of Crown Prince
Kawab and Queen consort
Hetepheres II. If so, he would have been a grandson of Pharaoh
Khufu and Queen
Meritites I.
[Dodson, Aidan and Hilton, Dyan. The Complete Royal Families of Ancient Egypt. Thames & Hudson. 2004, pp 50-61. ] On the other hand, based on his titles, he may be one of the younger sons of
Khufu (along with Khaemsekhem (G 7660), and Mindjedef (G 7760)).
