The Egyptian noble Meryra (also Merire) was the only certain High Priest of the Aten, amongst his other titles were Hereditary Noble and High Official and Fan-bearer on the Right Side of the King[1], which emphasise his closeness to the king.[2]
He had a tomb constructed at Amarna, Tomb 4, although his remains have never been identified. (See Tombs of the Nobles.)
