Penre
Penre was a high ancient Egyptian official of the 18th Dynasty, who was viceroy of Kush under the reigning Queen Hatshepsut .
Penre is best known for his Theban tomb, which was only discovered in 2002. Before this discovery, it was uncertain who exactly under the queen was the viceroy of Kush. Penre bore the title of (first) prince and chief of the southern foreign lands , which were the typical titles of viceroy. He must have taken office after year 2 of Hatshepsut, since Seni is still in office this year. His successor was Inebni / Amenemnechu , who is attested in the 18th year of the ruler's reign. Penre's grave was a simple shaft in which the remains of his coffin, canopic jars , remains of a mummy mask and other remains of grave goods were found.
