Penbuy and Kasa

Egyptian hieroglyphs

The Theban Tomb TT10 is located in Deir el-Medina, part of the Theban Necropolis, on the west bank of the Nile, opposite Luxor. It is the burial place of the ancient Egyptian artisan (his exact title was Servant in the Place of Truth) named Penbuy, who lived during the 19th Dynasty. [2] Penbuy shared his tomb with Kasa, also a Servant in the Place of Truth. [1]

Contents

The relation between the interred is disputed. From the evidence of stela Turin (N. 50037) it has been argued that Kasa was the son of Penbuy. However, the text in question refers most likely not to Penbuy, but to a woman, saying Kasa is her son. [3] The relationship between Penbuy and Kasa likely comes through Penbuy's first wife Amentetwosret. It is not clear however if Amentetwosret was Kasa's sister or daughter. [4]

Tomb

The left side of the chapel shows several scenes of people offering to seated couples. Many of the names are illegible however. The right side of the chapel shows a scene depicting Kasa and his wife Bukha'nef with a daughter. In another register the tomb, four mummies and a funeral procession are depicted. The mummies seem to be Kasa, his son Nebamentet, his wife Bukha'nef and a lady of the house named Hathor. A son named Neferemsenut and a daughter named Sheritre are depicted standing before the mummies. In another scene a son of Kassa named Ptahmose is mentioned. Ptahmose's wife is named Sheritre. [5]

On the ceiling of the chapel inscriptions again identify Kasa and his wife Bukha'nef, while another mentions Penbuy and his wife Amentet-wosret. [5]

In the innerchapel Penbuy and his brother Penshen'abu are shown before Amenhotep I. Ahmose Nefertari and the pharaohs Sethi I, Ramesses I and Horemheb. In a nearby scene Ramesses II and the vizier Paser are shown offering to Ptah and Hathor. [5] [6]

Neferkare Setepenre Ramesses IX was the eighth pharaoh of the Twentieth Dynasty of Egypt. He was the third longest serving king of this Dynasty after Ramesses III and Ramesses XI. He is now believed to have assumed the throne on I Akhet day 21 based on evidence presented by Jürgen von Beckerath in a 1984 GM article. According to Papyrus Turin 1932+1939, Ramesses IX enjoyed a reign of 18 years and 4 months and died in his 19th Year in the first month of Peret between day 17 and 27. His throne name, Neferkare Setepenre, means "Beautiful Is The Soul of Re, Chosen of Re." Ramesses IX is believed to be the son of Mentuherkhepeshef, a son of Ramesses III, since Mentuherkhopshef's wife, the lady Takhat bears the prominent title of King's Mother on the walls of tomb KV10, which she usurped and reused in the late 20th Dynasty; no other 20th Dynasty king is known to have had a mother with this name. Ramesses IX was, therefore, probably a grandson of Ramesses III.
