Titles

His titles include:

  • Hereditary prince, count, the eldest King's son of his body
  • Chief Ritualist of His Father
  • Chief justice and vizier
  • Treasurer of his father, the King of Lower Egypt.

    • Tomb

    Ankhmare's tomb is G 8460, located in the Central Field which is part of the Giza Necropolis. The entrance leads to a rock-cut chapel. Two pillars divide the chapel into two parts. In the area behind the pillars three burial shafts are dug into the floor.

  • Shaft no 1350 contained a skeleton. Foot prints of a man and a boy were found in the area around the body. These presumably belonged to the grave robbers who violated the burial chamber in antiquity.
  • Shaft no 1351 was a simple pit.
  • Shaft no 1352 contained a limestone sarcophagus which was placed against the west wall.
