Ramose (18th Dynasty)
Ramose was an ancient Egyptian general, mainly known from his tomb excavated at Saqqara. Ramose appears in the inscriptions of his tomb with several titles, including ''Generals of the army'' (''ḥry-pḏt n p3 mš3''), ''General of the Lord of the Two Lands'', ''deputy of the army'' (''idnw n p3 mš3'') and ''priest'' Ramose lived at the end of the 18th Dynasty and started his career most likely under general Haremhab (before the latter became king). The tomb of Ramose consists of the underground burial chambers and the overground chapel. The chapel is mudbrick-built and has two courtyards. The entrance is on the east side. At the very back there are three chapels. The tomb of Ramose lies directly next to the Tomb of Horemheb in Saqqara, one of Haremhab, that he built when he was general and not yet king. In the tomb of Haremhab appears also a close servant of Horemhab with the title ''scribe of the army'' and the name Ramose. It seems likely that these two people with the nam ...

Ramose (vizier)
The Ancient Egyptian noble, Ramose was Vizier under both Amenhotep III and Akhenaten. He was in office in the last decade of Amenhotep's III reign and at the beginning of the reign of the latter king. Ramose appears on jar labels found in the palace of king Amenhotep III at Malkata. Here appears also the vizier Amenhotep-Huy. Both viziers are also shown side by side in the temple of Soleb. In the New Kingdom the office of the vizier was divided in a northern vizier and a southern one. It is not entirely clear whether Ramose was the southern or northern one. Ramose was born into an influential family. His father was the mayor of Memphis Heby, in office at the beginning of Amenhotep's III reign. The brother of Ramose was the high steward of Memphis Amenhotep (Huy).

Ramose (TT7)
Ramose was an ancient Egyptian scribe and artisan who lived in Deir el-Medina on the west bank of the Nile, opposite Thebes, during the reigns of Ramesses II. He held the position of Scribe of the Tomb, the highest administrative position for a scribe in Deir el-Medina, from around years 5 to 38 of Ramesses II's reign. He was buried in a tomb in the village necropolis. Ramose created a total of three tombs for himself in the Theban Necropolis, TT7, TT212 and TT250. Family Ramose was the son of the retainer Amenemheb and the Lady Kakaia. He was married to the Lady Mutemwia (Wia), daughter of the royal scribe Huy and Nofretkau. Despite extensive offerings to fertility gods like Hathor, Min and Taweret, Ramose and Wia were unable to have a biological child. Ramose is thought to have adopted the scribe Qenhirkhopeshef so that the latter could inherit his estate.Benedict G.

Senenmut
Senenmut ( egy, sn-n-mwt, sometimes spelled Senmut, Senemut, or Senmout) was an 18th Dynasty ancient Egyptian architect and government official. His name translates literally as "mother's brother." Family Senenmut was of low commoner birth, born to literate provincial parents, Ramose and Hatnofer (or "Hatnefret") from Iuny (modern Armant). Senenmut is known to have had three brothers (Amenemhet, Minhotep, and Pairy) and two sisters (Ahhotep and Nofrethor). However, only Minhotep is named outside chapel TT71 and tomb TT353, in an inventory on the lid of a chest found in the burial chamber of Ramose and Hatnofer. More information is known about Senenmut than many other non-royal Egyptians because the joint tomb of his parents (the construction of which Senenmut supervised himself) was discovered intact by the Metropolitan Museum in the mid-1930s and preserved. Christine Meyer has offered compelling evidence to show that Senenmut was a bachelor for his entire life: for instance ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Tombs Of The Nobles (Amarna)
Located in Middle Egypt, the Tombs of the Nobles at Amarna are the burial places of some of the powerful courtiers and persons of the city of Akhetaten. The tombs are in two groups, cut into the cliffs and bluffs in the east of the dry bay of Akhetaten. There are 25 major tombs, many of them decorated and with their owners name, some are small and unfinished, others modest and unassuming. Each seems to reflect the personality and patronage of the tomb's original owner. Northern tombs These tombs are located in two groups in the cliffs overlooking the city of Akhetaten, to the north and east of the city. They are split into two groups by a wadi, and are near one of the Boundary Stelae (Stela V).

The vizier () was the highest official in ancient Egypt to serve the pharaoh (king) during the Old, Middle, and New Kingdoms. Vizier is the generally accepted rendering of ancient Egyptian , etc., among Egyptologists. The ''Instruction of Rekhmire'' (''Installation of the Vizier''), a New Kingdom text, defines many of the duties of the , and lays down codes of behavior. The viziers were often appointed by the pharaoh. During the 4th Dynasty and early 5th Dynasty, viziers were exclusively drawn from the royal family; from the period around the reign of Neferirkare Kakai onwards, they were chosen according to loyalty and talent or inherited the position from their fathers. Responsibilities The viziers were appointed by the pharaohs and often belonged to a pharaoh's family. The vizier's paramount duty was to supervise the running of the country, much like a prime minister. At times this included small details such as sampling the city's water supply.

Ramesses (Egyptian Name)
Ramesses ( or ), also commonly spelled Rameses or Ramses (, , or ), is the name conventionally given in English transliteration to 11 Egyptian pharaohs of the later New Kingdom period. Other variants of the name include Ramose and Paramessu; these various spellings could be used to refer to the same person. The various forms are based on the Greek (Ραμεσσυς: ''Ramessus''), Latin (Ramesses), or Hebrew (רעמסס: ''Raˁamses, Raˁmeses'') forms of the name, all ultimately based on the Ancient Egyptian form: ''rˁ-ms-sw'' (𓅭𓇳) " Ra sthe one who gave birth ohim". The name (רעמסס: ''Raˁamses, Raˁmeses'') occurs in the Hebrew Bible, not as the name of a king but rather the name of one of the two cities was built for the Pharaoh of the oppression by the forced labor of the Israelites (Exodus, ), the other such city being Pithom.
