Ankhmare

Anchmare was a prince of the ancient Egyptian 4th dynasty . He was a son of Pharaoh Chephren ; nothing is known about his mother. Under Chephren's successor, Mykerinos , he held the office of vizier and was thus the highest official after the king.

Anchmare owns a rock tomb on Central Field in Giza . The door roll at the entrance to the tomb gives the name and title of the owner; there are no other inscriptions. The double statue of Schepsesnesut and his wife Neferetius was also found in the grave.
