| 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.
