Ankhu
Ankhu was an Egyptian vizier of the early 13th Dynasty, who lived around 1750 BC. Family Ankhu was the son of a vizier. Labib Habachi proposed that his father was the vizier Zamonth. The mother of Ankhu is known as Henutpu, the name of Zamonth's wife is published as Henut. Habachi wonders whether ''Henut'' is a mistake or short version of Henutpu. The name Henut is otherwise not attested. Detlef Franke agreed with this identification and calculates that Ankhu must have been 50 to 60 years old under king Khendjer. Ankhu was married to a woman called Mereret. Ankhu was the father of two further viziers: Resseneb and Iymeru. The family formed a strong dynasty of high court officials. One of the daughters of the couple was called Senebhenas. She was married to the ''overseer of the half domain'' Wepwawethotep. The latter was related to Queen Aya, albeit it remains uncertain in which way. Biography Ankhu is known from several monuments dating to the reigns of the 13th Dynas ...

Iymeru (son Of Ankhu)
Iymeru was an ancient Egyptian vizier in office during the 13th Dynasty. Biography Iymeru was a son of the better known vizier Ankhu, along with his brother and predecessor Resseneb. According to Wolfram Grajetzki, both the two brothers probably enjoyed a brief office as vizier because they are both poorly attested. Other sources suggest instead that Iymeru officiated during the reigns of pharaohs Khendjer, his successor Imyremeshaw and maybe even beyond.Caption of the statuette (S. 1220). Museo Egizio, Turin. Iymeru is attested, along with Resseneb and Ankhu, on a stela now in Cairo Museum (CG 20690).

13th Dynasty
In music or music theory, a thirteenth is the note thirteen scale degrees from the root of a chord and also the interval between the root and the thirteenth. The interval can be also described as a compound sixth, spanning an octave plus a sixth. The thirteenth is most commonly major or minor . A thirteenth chord is the stacking of six (major or minor) thirds, the last being above the 11th of an eleventh chord. Thus a thirteenth chord is a tertian (built from thirds) chord containing the interval of a thirteenth, and is an extended chord if it includes the ninth and/or the eleventh. "The jazzy thirteenth is a very versatile chord and is used in many genres." Since 13th chords tend to become unclear or confused with other chords when inverted, they are generally found in root position.Benward & Saker (2009). ''Music in Theory and Practice: Volume II'', p.179. Eighth Edition. . For example, depending on voicing, a major triad with an added major sixth is usually c ...

Papyrus Brooklyn 35
Papyrus ( ) is a material similar to thick paper that was used in ancient times as a writing surface. It was made from the pith of the papyrus plant, ''Cyperus papyrus'', a wetland sedge. ''Papyrus'' (plural: ''papyri'') can also refer to a document written on sheets of such material, joined side by side and rolled up into a scroll, an early form of a book. Papyrus is first known to have been used in Egypt (at least as far back as the First Dynasty), as the papyrus plant was once abundant across the Nile Delta. It was also used throughout the Mediterranean region. Apart from a writing material, ancient Egyptians employed papyrus in the construction of other artifacts, such as reed boats, mats, rope, sandals, and baskets.

The start and end of the three ages varies between world regions. In many regions the Bronze Age is generally considered to begin a few centuries prior to 3000 BC, while the end of the Iron Age varies from the early first millennium BC in some regions to the late first millennium AD in others. During the time period of ancient history, the world population was already exponentially increasing due to the Neolithic Revolution, which was in full progress.
