Sitting Egyptian Scribe (drawing)
Sitting is a List of human positions, basic action and resting position in which the body weight is supported primarily by the bony ischial tuberosities with the buttocks in contact with the ground or a horizontal surface such as a chair seat, instead of by the lower limbs as in standing, squatting position, squatting or kneeling. When sitting, the torso is more or less upright, although sometimes it can lean against other objects for a more relaxed posture. Sitting for much of the day may pose significant health risks, with one study suggesting people who sit regularly for prolonged periods may have higher mortality rates than those who do not. The average person sits down for 4.7 hours per day, according to a global review representing 47% of the global adult population. The form of kneeling where the buttocks sit back on the heels, for example as in the ''Seiza'' and ''Vajrasana (yoga), Vajrasana'' postures, is also often interpreted as sitting.

Roy (Egyptian Noble)
The Theban Tomb TT255 is located in Dra' Abu el-Naga', part of the Theban Necropolis, situated on the west bank of the Nile opposite Luxor. The sepulchre is the burial place of Roy, a royal scribe, and his wife Nebtawy (nicknamed Tawy), who lived at the end of the 18th Dynasty, during the reign of Horemheb. In addition to being a scribe, Roy was an overseer of the estates of both Horemheb and the god Amun.

Ramose (TT7)
Ramose was an ancient Egyptian scribe and artisan who lived in Deir el-Medina on the west bank of the Nile, opposite Thebes, during the reigns of Ramesses II. He held the position of Scribe of the Tomb, the highest administrative position for a scribe in Deir el-Medina, from around years 5 to 38 of Ramesses II's reign. He was buried in a tomb in the village necropolis. Ramose created a total of three tombs for himself in the Theban Necropolis, TT7, TT212 and TT250. Family Ramose was the son of the retainer Amenemheb and the Lady Kakaia. He was married to the Lady Mutemwia (Wia), daughter of the royal scribe Huy and Nofretkau. Despite extensive offerings to fertility gods like Hathor, Min and Taweret, Ramose and Wia were unable to have a biological child.

Penthu
Penthu () was an Egyptian noble who bore the titles of sealbearer of the King of Lower Egypt, the sole companion, the attendant of the Lord of the Two Lands, the favorite of the good god, king's scribe, the king's subordinate, First servant of the Aten in the mansion of the Aten in Akhetaten, Chief of physicians, and chamberlain.N. de G. Davies, The rock tombs of El-Amarna, Parts III and IV, 1905 (Reprinted 2004), The Egypt Exploration Society, These titles alone show how powerful he would have been in Eighteenth Dynasty Egypt. He was originally Chief Physician to Akhenaten, but may have survived the upheavals of the end of the Amarna Period, and served under Ay, after being Vizier under Tutankhamun. The identification of Penthu the Physician with Pentu the Vizier is not certain, however. He had a tomb constructed at Amarna, Amarna Tomb 5, although his remains have never been identified, and he was probably never buried there. An inscription discovered in 2004 in the ...

Pediamenopet
Padiamenope (also known by the hellenised form Petamenophis) was an ancient Egyptian royal scribe and chief lector priest between the late 25th Dynasty and the early 26th Dynasty, known mainly for TT33 (tomb), his immense tomb, one of the largest ever built in ancient Egypt. Biography Despite his immense tomb and the quantity of known artifacts attributable to him, nearly nothing is known of Padiamenope's life. His titles provide only vague hints about his career, with none of these seemingly referring to any political charge. Notably, the name of the pharaoh (or pharaohs) he must have served does not appear in any of his numerous inscriptions; it has been estimated that he should have lived between the late 25th and the 26th Dynasty. He was a "chief of the scribes of the king’s documents", but also held priestly positions such as chief ritualist priest, as well as liturgical scribe both at Thebes, Egypt, Thebes and Abydos, Egypt, Abydos.

Neferhotep (scribe Of The Great Enclosure)
Neferhotep was an ancient Egyptian official with the title ''scribe of the great enclosure''. He lived during the 13th Dynasty, around 1750 BC. His tomb was found in 1860 by Auguste Mariette in Dra Abu el-Naga and contained an important range of objects, most notably of which was the Papyrus Boulaq 18, which is an account of life in the Theban palace. The papyrus had already been published, but the finds in Neferhotep's tomb have only recently been fully published. The tomb contained the rishi coffin of Neferhotep, which was most likely badly decayed when Mariette found it. So it is only known from Mariette's description. Other finds in the tomb are a walking stick, a head rest, a faïence hippopotamus, wooden pieces of the Hounds and Jackals game, a mace, writing implements, a wooden tray for a mirror, two calcite vessels, a magical wand and a double scarab. There are few well-preserved tomb groups of this period, giving this find a special importance. Furthermore, this is t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Nebamun
Nebamun (fl. ) was a middle-ranking official "scribe and grain accountant" during the period of the New Kingdom in ancient Egypt. He worked at the vast temple complex near Thebes (now Luxor) where the state-god Amun was worshipped. His name was translated as "My Lord is Amun", and his association with the temple, coupled with the importance of grain supplies to Egypt, meant that he was a person of considerable practical importance, though not of the highest rank. Nebamun is known today because of the 1820 discovery of the richly decorated Tomb of Nebamun on the west bank of the Nile at Thebes. Although the exact location of that tomb is now lost, a number of wall paintings from the tomb were acquired by the British Museum The British Museum is a Museum, public museum dedicated to human history, art and culture located in the Bloomsbury area of London. Its permanent collection of eight million works is the largest in the world. It documents the story of human cu ... where ...

Nakhtmin (scribe)
Nakhtmin (also written Minnakht) was lector priest of Min in Akhmim. The lector priest Nakhtmin is known from a stela now in the Archaeological Museum in Zagreb.
