Statue of Hapuseneb

Hapuseneb , also Hapu-seneb , was high priest of Amun under the ancient Egyptian queen ( pharaoh ) Hatshepsut in the 18th dynasty . He was one of the leading officials under this ruler.

Hapuseneb was the son of Hapu ( third priest of Amun ) and a certain Ahhotep as well as the father of Seniseneb , who held the priesthood of Amun's worshiper of God . His main wife was named Amenhotep.

Hapuseneb is known from a number of statues , his grave is in Thebes ( TT67 ) and there is a chapel of him at Jabal al-Silsila . As he reports on his statue, which is in the Louvre today , he was the builder of a royal tomb and furnished the temple of Amun . On this statue he also bears the title of a vizier ( Tjati ), which is problematic as from the 5th year of Hatshepsut a certain user is attested with this office. Wolfgang Helck therefore suspected that it was an officer who carried the honorary title.
