Paweraa

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Paweraa was the Mayor of Western Thebes during a series of tomb robberies that occurred in the Valley of the Kings during the late New Kingdom of Ancient Egypt. In official transcripts of a Tomb Robbery report from Year 16 of Ramesses IX, Paweraa was accused by Paser, the Mayor of Eastern Thebes, of either being involved in the series of Tomb robberies or being negligent in his duties in protecting the royal tombs from incursions by marauding Libyan bands or conventional Egyptian tomb robbers. However, Paweraa was never charged due to the lack of clear evidence of his guilt. He cobtinued to serve in office while Paser, his accuser, vanishes from history. Paweraa later appears in the House-list papyrus which dates to either Year 12 pre-Whm Mswt or Year 12 of the Whm-Mswt era (ie: Year 30 proper) of Ramesses XI.
