Several of the monuments Amenmose left behind show the goddess Neith in a place of prominence, which may be a reference to the birthplace of his father. Neith was worshipped in Esna. [1] In his tomb in Thebes Amenmose is said to be not only a scribe, but also the Head of the Temples. This may indicate that he inspected temples. Hibachi mentions that this may explain why his monuments were found in so many different locations. [1]
