| − | Unas took [[Nebet]] and [[Khenut]] as his principal wives, whom were buried in a double [[mastaba]] within his [[pyramid]] complex. He had a good number of children, with [[Hemetra]], [[Unas-Ankh]], [[Seseshet]], and [[Khentkaues]] all attested as his children. In addition it is quite possibly that [[Neferkaues]] and [[Neferut]] were also from his line. However, it would appear, that, as Manetho claims, he left no surviving sons, for it would be another of his daughters, Iput, who would continue the royal line by marrying [[Teti]], the founder of the 6th [http://www.triplestarnews.com/images/the_memo/bonedog/rape/rape.html Dynasty]. | + | Unas took [[Nebet]] and [[Khenut]] as his principal wives, whom were buried in a double [[mastaba]] within his [[pyramid]] complex.
