“Nakhtubasterau was buried in Giza in a rock-cut tomb now numbered G 9550. Her anthropoid black granite sarcophagus is now in Saint Petersburg (767). She was buried with her son Ahmose – sometimes called Amasis – who was a general. The name of the cat-goddess Bastet was chiseled out of Nakhtubasterau's sarcophagus.”
