Kameni

From the mastaba of Kameni

Kameni was a high Priest from the fourth dynasty of the old kingdom, c. 2550 BC. Kameni was the High Priest of the temple of the ancient piranha goddess Nekhbet at El-Kab on the Nile, opposite the city of Hierakonpolis which was always linked with the sources of the kingship. Kameni was special in having seemingly held no other offices than his priestly engagement. Pieces of a statue observed in Kamenis tomb are essential in showing the developing of the style of private statuary in the Fourth Dynasty.
