Rekhmire came from a family which had produced a number of civil servants of the highest rank. He was Vizier of the South to King Thutmose III and King Amenhotep II, thus being responsible for the administration of Upper Egypt at a time of Egypt's greatest power and prosperity. To judge by his tomb and funerary chapel, Rekhmire was a man of taste and high culture; the reliefs and paintings are of a superlative quality. Rekhmire also incorporated into his funerary apartments descriptions of the duties of a vizier and the responsibility for right-doing and honourable conduct that the office demanded. He was buried in the Valley of the Nobles at Thebes (TT 100). The paintings in his tomb show much of the daily life of the highest official in the state ... --Who's Who in Ancient Egypt, Routledge, Credo Reference Database. |
