Mastaba of the Senedjemib

Senedjemib , whose second name was Inti , was a vizier under Pharaoh Djedkare-Isesi . He bore the title of “Head of the Royal Record Clerks ” and “Head of all the King's Work” and as such was the king's chief architect.

In two letters, Djedkare mentions that Senedjemib designed the "Meret sanctuary of Isesi" and the Sedfest palace of Djedkare. A fragmentary text from the tomb of Senedjemib mentions the planning of another building.

Senedjemib was buried in Giza , near the Great Pyramid , in a grave (G 2370) laid out by his son Senedjemib Mehi . The fragmentary inscription on the grave contains a short biography and two letters from King Djedkare addressed to him.
