Akhethetep Hemi was an
ancient Egyptian official at the end of the
Fifth Dynasty, most likely in office under king
Unas. His highest title was that of a
vizier, making him the most important official at the royal court, only second to the king. Next to the vizier's titles he was also
overseer of the treasuries, overseer of the scribes of the king's document and overseer of the double granary; all these were important positions at the royal court.
Akhethetep Hemi is mainly known from his
mastaba
A mastaba (, or ), also mastabah, mastabat or pr- djt (meaning "house of stability", " house of eternity" or "eternal house" in Ancient Egyptian), is a type of ancient Egyptian tomb in the form of a flat-roofed, rectangular structure with inwar ...
not far from the
Pyramid of Unas, that was excavated and published by
Selim Hassan. The mastaba was later usurped by an official called Nebkauher. It often remains difficult to decide which titles in the tomb decoration belong to one or the other official.
