Inetkaes was an ancient Egyptian princess of the Third dynasty. Her name incorporates the name of the goddess Neith (Net - one of Neith's names).
Inetkaes was the only known child of Pharaoh Djoser and Queen Hetephernebti, and she was a granddaughter of Khasekhemwy and Nimaethap.[1]
She is mentioned on the boundary stelae surrounding Djoser's step pyramid (these are now to be found in various museums) and is depicted on a relief found in Heliopolis (now in Torino). This shows the enthroned pharaoh accompanied by smaller figures of Inetkaes and Queen Hetephernebti, who bears the title “She who sees Horus” (a title typical for 3rd dynasty queens).[2]
