ABSTRACT

Ramessenakhte held the important position of High-priest of Amun at Karnak during the reign of Ramesses IV.

An inscription in the Wadi Hammamat dating to Year 3 of this reign states that the High-priest was responsible for the temples and statues which the king presented to the local gods and, as ‘Superintendent of Works’, Ramessenakhte played an important role in obtaining building stone from the quarries.
