AHMOSESIPAIR

(fl. 1520 BC)

   A prince of Dynasty 18. He was probably the eldest son of Ahmose I. He was venerated in the later New Kingdom and appears in tomb paintings in Deir el-Medina of the Ramesside Period. Ahmose-Sipair was worshipped together with Ahmose-Nefertari, who may have been his mother, and Amenhotep I. It has been suggested that he was the brother of Ahmose I and the father of Thutmose I. This appears less likely in view of his association with Ahmose-Nefertari, and it is equally probable that he died young.
