Hapuseneb

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hapuseneb was the High Priest of Amun during the reign of Hatshepsut.[1] His mother, Ah-hotep, was a member of the royal harem; the name of the mother has survived on a piece of limestone found in the temple of Thutmosis III at Qurna (Excavations of Weigall, 1906). His father, Hapu, was Lecture Priest of Amun. His brother, Sa-Amun, was a scribe and 1st sealer of the god Amun. He also had a sister named Ahmose. His wife Amenhotep bore him three sons Djehutjmes-machet, User-pechtj, and Aa-cheper-ka-ra-nefer(who was High Priest at the Mortuary Temple of Thutmosis II, lector priest) and 3 daughters Henut, Henut-nefert (a singer of Amun), Sen-seneb, and Ta-em-resefu (also a singer of Amun).[2]

Hapuseneb served as High Priest during Year 2 to Year 16 of Hatshepsut.[3] He was buried in TT67 in Upper Egypt.[4]
