Imiseba

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Imiseba was a high ancient Egyptian official of the Ramesside period . He is best known for his decorated grave in Lepidotonpolis (today Nag el-Mescheich).

Imiseba had various titles which, on the one hand, show that he started his career at the royal palace and probably later held functions at temples. Among other things, he was the true scribe of the Lord of the two countries and head of the archivists of the Lord of the two countries . Furthermore, he was also the upper domain administrator in the domain of the Chons and the upper domain administrator of the Chons .

The name of his wife is not known. Four sons are known by name. It is about Nebneteru, who was the royal scribe and domain administrator of the Chons ; Penmehit was the clerk of the army of the lord of the two countries ; Amenemope was the Pharaoh's scribe , a fourth son is known only by his name, Kaemunu.

His grave has a relatively small but fully relief-decorated funerary chapel and six underground burial chambers. The burial chapel shows scenes from the underworld and funeral celebrations. The depiction of a poultry farm is remarkable and unique.
