Horny night

Hornacht was an ancient Egyptian civil servant who lived in the 19th dynasty . He carried the title of Deputy of Kush and was thus one of the leading officials in Nubia , which was an Egyptian province at the time.

Hornacht is best known from five door posts discovered in Sai , Amara -Ost and Abri. They were all found in modern reuse, so it is not clear whether they once adorned residential buildings or a grave. On the island of Sai there was also a lintel showing Hornacht and his wife. In 2015, his grave was finally located near Sai. It had a chapel, a small pyramid and a shaft that leads to the burial chamber. His name was found on the remains of a pyramidion .

The Hornacht's career can be partially reconstructed using inscriptions. He was the son of the deputy Hatiai. At the beginning of his career, Hornacht was a royal messenger and was promoted from there to Kusch's deputy .

It is uncertain whether he is identical to a deputy of the same name from Wawat .
