Note: Mereruka (c. 2345 - 2323 BC), vizier, Sixth Dynasty, Old Kingdom. Mereruka was one of the great nobles of the reign of King Teti, to whose daughter he was married. In addition to his rank as Vizier he was Governor of Memphis and the Inspector of Prophets. His tomb at Saqqara is a source of reference for the exceptionally agreeable lifestyle of a princely Egyptian of the late Old Kingdom. --Who's Who in Ancient Egypt, Routledge, Credo Reference Database. |
