Maiherpri
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Ancient Egyptian noble Maiherperi was buried in the Valley of the Kings, in tomb KV36. He probably lived during the rule of Thutmose IV, and received the honour of a burial in the royal necropolis. Amongst his titles were Child of the Nursery and Royal Fan-Bearer of the Right Hand Side. In Maiherperi's tomb, a papyrus was found depicting him with dark skin, leading scholars to believe he was in fact Nubian or of Nubian descent. The papyrus in question was the Book of the Dead.
