Treasury chief

Treasury chief and chief of the twin treasure house in hieroglyphics
	;

The treasury chief (usually " chief of the double treasure house ") was a high official at the ancient Egyptian court of the Old and New Kingdom . The title has been attested with certainty since the 4th dynasty . The earliest title holder to date dates to the beginning of the 4th dynasty and was called Pehernefer . The treasury manager managed the palace's treasury, where valuable products such as metal objects, linen, wine and perhaps oil were stored and managed. Many title holders of the Old Kingdom were also viziers and thus held two of the most important state offices. In the Middle Kingdom the office lost its importance and the functions were taken over by the treasurer . Only in the course of the New Kingdom did the office regain importance, while the treasurers lost their importance. Important title holders of the New Kingdom were z. B. Maya , who organized the funeral of Tutankhamun or Tia , who was a brother-in-law of Ramses II .
