Sesheshet, occasionally known as Sesh, was the mother of King Teti, the first and founding pharaoh of the sixth dynasty of Ancient Egypt. She was instrumental in enabling her son to gain the throne and reconciling two warring factions of the royal family.〔'Ancient Egypt queen' found. The Straits Times〕 In 2008 archeologists discovered what is believed to have been her pyramid.〔("4,300-year-old pyramid discovered in Egypt" ) ''ap.google.com'' November 12, 2008 Link accessed 13/11/08〕 == Family == Sesheshet was a grandmother of King Pepi I Meryre. Queen Iput I, Teti's wife, was a daughter of King Unas, the last king of the Fifth dynasty. The dynasty that arose from Teti is considered part of the Old Kingdom of Egypt, a term designated by modern historians. There was no break in the royal lines or the location of the capital from its predecessors, but significant cultural changes occurred to prompt the designation of different periods by scholars. Until the recent rediscovery of her pyramid, little contemporary evidence about Sesheshet had been found. Her estates under the title ''King's Mother'' are mentioned in the tomb of the early sixth dynasty Vizier Mehi, and she is referenced in passing as the mother of Teti in a remedy for baldness in the Ebers Papyrus.〔Dodson, Aidan and Hilton, Dyan.
