|||||
Duaenhor was a prince of the ancient Egyptian 4th Dynasty . He was probably a son of the vizier Kawab and his wife Hetepheres II and therefore a grandson of Pharaoh Cheops .
His grave
Duaenhor owns the mastaba G 7550 in the east cemetery of the Great Pyramid of Cheops , where he was probably buried during the reign of Mykerinos . A false door and fragments of two reliefs were found in the sacrificial chapel, one of which shows the deceased together with his family and the other a scene of an offering table.
