Amenhotep (treasurer)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Amenhotep was an ancient Egyptian treasurer of the 13th Dynasty , who is best known for his tomb in Dahshur . The remains of his wooden coffin were found there, on which he is referred to as the “ royal sealer ”, “ only friend ” and “ treasurer ”. The coffin is decorated with long religious texts, most of which have so far had no parallels in the so-called coffin texts . There are also a few seals from Amenhotep that stylistically date to the 13th Dynasty.
