Amenhotep (vizier)

Amenhotep , also known as Huy , was the northern vizier under King ( Pharaoh ) Amenophis III. in the ancient Egyptian 18th Dynasty ( New Kingdom ). He officiated at about the same time as Ramose .

Not much is known about his person. His grave was only discovered in 1978 in al-Asasif in Thebes West. Otherwise, he is known by two statues from the Nile - Delta , Krug inscriptions from Malkata that the Sed hard call, and he appears along with the vizier Ramose in the Temple of Soleb . The classification as northern vizier has already been disputed in research and it has been suggested that Ramose officiated in the north and Amenhotep in the south.
