Anen
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Anen was an Ancient Egyptian official during the late 18th dynasty of Egypt. He was the son of Yuya and Tjuyu--and the brother of Queen Tiye, Amenhotep III's wife. Anen became the Chancellor of Lower Egypt, Second Prophet of Amun, sem-priest of Heliopolis, and Divine Father under the reign of the powerful New Kingdom Pharaoh, Amenhotep III.
Anen who is well known from his statue, Turin 5484, now in Italy does not mention the fact that he was Amenhotep III's brother-in-law in his own monuments.[1] Rather, it was his mother Tjuyu's statement that her son Anen was the second prophet of Amun which reveals this important family connection between Anen and the king.[2]
