Ramses night (vizier)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ramsesnacht was an ancient Egyptian vizier of the 20th dynasty , who was possibly under the king ( pharaoh ) Ramses VI. officiated. The vizier was the highest state office in ancient Egypt after the king. In the New Kingdom this office was often divided. There was one incumbent in Lower Egypt and another in Upper Egypt . Ramses Night is known only from a single ostracon from Deir el-Medine , which is undated. Some Egyptologists try it, without giving reasons, under Ramses VI. dated.
