What is Khenthap?
'''Khenthap''', also known as '''Khenet-Hapi''', is believed to have been a queen consort during the [[First Dynasty of Egypt|1st dynasty]]. She is thought to have lived during the 1st Dynasty. Not much is known about her because there are no historical records of her from her time. Her name only appears once in a writing that is much later after the 1st dynasty. {{Infobox hieroglyphs |name =<hiero>Aa1:n:t-A53-V28-Aa5:p-B1</hiero> |name explanation = Khenthap/Khenet-Hapi <br /> ''ḫnt-Ḥp'' <br /> ''Musician of Hapi''<ref>Silke Roth: ''Die Königsmütter des Alten Ägypten: von der Frühzeit bis zum Ende der 12.
