Panehesy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Egyptian noble Panehesy was the 'Chief servitor of the Aten in the temple of Aten in Akhetaten'. This title shows how powerful he would have been in the Amarna Period.
His house has been located in the ruins of Amarna, lying in the main city back from the Royal Road in Amarna. In this house was a large shrine which depicted Akhenaten, Nefertiti, and princess Meritaten making offerings to the Aten.
He had a tomb constructed at Amarna, Tomb 6[1], although his remains have never been identified.
We know his grandfather was named Pa-nehas, and his name is phonetically equivalent to Pinehas (Phineas) the Levite.
