God's Wife (Egyptian Hmt nTr) is a term which was often allocated to royal women during the 18th Dynasty of Egypt. The term indicates an inherited sacral role, in which the role of God's Wife passed from mother to daughter. The role could also exist among siblings, as in the case of the role of God's Wife being shared or passed by daughters of Ahmose-Nefertari, Satamun (I) and her sister, Ahmose-Merytamun.[1]
Despite certain allegations found online, the role of God's Wife is not the same as the title God's Wife of Amun, which is a separate sacral title, involved in the "Divine Cycle" myth of the god Amun.[2][3] Only two 18th Dynasty queens held this title, being Ahhotep and Ahmose-Nefertari.[4]
