hieroglyphs in the tomb chapel of Menna - Deir el-Medina, Upper Egypt
Menna who lived under the 18th #dinasty kings Thutmose IV and Amenhotep III (1419-1372 bc), was a scribe and supervisor of lands belonging to the king and a temple of Amun. Exquisite coloring and attention to detail distinguish the wall paintings in his chapel. Scenes show Menna involved in surveying the fields and recording the harvest yield. Menna's wife, Henuttawy, who was a Chantress of Amun, is also shown together with two of their sons, Kha, a proest, and Se who followed his father's profession, as well as two daughters Amenemweskhet and Nehemet, both ladies-in-waiting in the palace, and another daughter named Kasy.
