Seetepibreanch

Epibreanch in hieroglyphics
	;

Sehetepibreanch was an ancient Egyptian "high priest of the god Ptah " known from a number of objects. His father was a certain Montuhotep, his mother's name was probably Chety. He probably lived in the 12th dynasty .

On a sacrificial plaque in Berlin he bears the titles " Member of the elite , foremost in action" and " Sem priest " . The assignment of the tablet to his person is not entirely certain, as there is a second high priest of Ptah with the name Sehetepibreanch-nedjem and the name ending on the sacrificial tablet is badly preserved. His official title on the Berlin sacrificial plaque reads “Greatest of the craftsmen in the two houses” . He appears on a stele from Saqqara that names his father and his wife - probably the mother of Sehetepibreanchs. There is another sacrificial tablet and the base of a statue in the Brooklyn Museum . Its exact date within the 12th dynasty is uncertain.
