Sarai ( Sarah ) is to be identified as Queen Weret Yamtes in Abraham's sojourn into Egypt

It is 1921 BC and Abraham and his wife Sarah enter into Egypt. This is the time of Pepi 1 according to my chronology. From Sarai came kings ( Sars = king, regal, queen, etc.) They, came originally from the ' land between the two rivers ', namely Euphrates and the Tigris!

Yam = 'rivers' Thus Sarai ( Sarah ) was called Queen of the River(s )

Hence Queen Weret Yamtes.

There was no grave found here for her in Egypt, as she and Abraham left very much alive to return to Canaan.
