The rock tombs of El Amarna .. The Tomb of Meryra II ( No. 2 ) .. Part ( 11 )

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 .
