Ramesses II treasurer’s tomb found

[guy]

This is a wonderful find of an ancient Egyptian treasurer and high-ranking official from the reign of Ramesses II:

“Ptahemwia lived during the reign of Ramesses II in the 19th Dynasty around 1250 BC. He served as the Pharaohs scribe, was the overseer of the cattle in the Temple of Usermaatre-Setepenre in the House of Amun, overseer of the treasury, and was responsible for the divine offerings in the Temple of Ramses II in Thebes.“

“The Egyptian tomb was that of Ptahemwia, an important official who lived during the reign of King Ramses II. In a statement released on October 30, 2021, the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities confirmed the identity of the owner of the tomb, adding that he worked under Ramses II between 1279 and 1213 BCE. " The importance of the discovery of this tomb is due to the functions occupied by its owner, who was royal scribe, head of the treasury, chief overseer of the cattle and also responsible for the divine offerings at the temple of Ramses II, in Thebes ", explained Mostafa Waziri , secretary general of the Supreme Council of Antiquities.”
