Neheri I.

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Neheri (I.) was Gaufürst in the 15th Upper Egyptian Gau at the beginning of the Middle Kingdom . He is best known from inscriptions from the alabaster quarries of Hatnub , where he bears the standard title of a prince in this Gau: " Mayor " ( Hati-a - Ḥ3tj-U-A725 LATIN SMALL LETTER EGYPTOLOGICAL AIN.gif ), " Head of the two thrones " (Cherep-nesty - Ḫrp-nsty ), " Head of the Priests " and " Head of the Hasengau ". In an inscription he also bears the title of a " vizier ". His inscriptions are dated after his own reign. The highest recorded year is year 8. Neheri I had a grave decorated with reliefs in Dair al-Berscha . Its exact date is disputed. Recent research tends to place it at the beginning of the 12th dynasty.
