Historical Notes
Tomb No. 2 is that the Meryra II, who should be
distinguished from his namesake Meryra I, who was a very much bigger man, being
" High-priest of the Aten in Akhetaten, and Bearer of the Fan in the right
hand of the King " . His tomb is No. 4 on the other side of the ravine in
the northern group . Our Meryra II is merely a Royal Scribe and Superintendent
of the Royal Harem .
