Meresankh The Third And How to mend Her Photo Using Levels in Photoshop.

She was the wife of the pharaoh Khafra and a grand-daughter of the Egyptian pharaoh Khufu.

before

after

Her parents were brother and sister[Hetepheres II and Prince Kawab].

She had married the pharaoh Khafra of the Fourth dynasty of Egypt and bore him four sons and one daughter.







Her Death  
It was sudden and unexpected, shortly after the reign of Khafra,,and she was buried in an extensively decorated mastaba tomb at Giza.

This tomb was originally planned for her mother Hetepheres II, but she instead donated it for her daughter's use. Inscriptions on the tomb provide both the time of her death and the date for her funeral, which followed around 272 days after her death. She apparently died during the first regnal year of an unnamed king, possibly the pharaoh Menkaure.
