- "The hieroglyphs say she was named Ahmanet, chosen to be Egypt's next queen, but her thirst for power led her down a darker path... one that had to be stopped."

The Murder of Menehptre was an attempt by Ahmanet to claim the title of pharaoh after her father bore a son and thus left Ahmanet ineligible to become pharaoh.
Background
Ahmanet, princess of Ancient Egypt, was intended to succeed her father Menehptre as pharaoh after his death. However, Menehptre later bore a son, which left Ahmanet, a woman, ineligible to claim the throne.[1]
Murder
A vengeful Ahmanet snuck into her parents' bedroom while they were asleep. Ahmanet slit Menehptre's throat, and presumably killed her mother and her brother as well.[1]
Aftermath
Mummification
Following the murders, Ahmanet summoned Set to do her bidding. Unfortunately for Ahmanet, it was the wrong god, which left Ahmanet cursed but incredibly powerful. In response, Ahmanet was forcibly mummified alive and buried in a tomb. Ahmanet is assumed to be dead for the next several thousand years.[1]
