Djaty I (also Djati) was a prince who lived in the ancient Egypt during the 4th Dynasty. He was an overseer of a royal expedition.[1]
Djaty was a son of Queen Meresankh II, daughter of King Khufu. Djaty's sisters were Nefertkau III and Nebty-tepites.[2]
Because Djaty had the title King's son of his body, it is assumed he was a son of one pharaoh. It is known that Meresankh II married a king after death of her first husband Horbaef. This king would be a father of Djaty – either Djedefre or Khafre. On the other hand, Djaty maybe had his title because he was a grandson of Khufu.[3]
Djaty was married and had a son Djaty II. It is possible that he had more sons.[3]
After his death, Djaty was buried in the tomb known as G 7810.[4] This is a mastaba at Giza. In the tomb, his wife and son are depicted. Djaty II is described as the eldest son of Djaty I.
