Mahirpre

Mahirpre was a important official of the Eighteenth Dynasty. He served Tuthmosis IV (1401-1391 B.C.E.) and Amenhotep III (1391-1353 B.C.E.), bearing the title of fanbearer, a romance rank that related get at to the pharaoh and  a  level  of  trust  bestowed  upon  him  by  the  ruler. Mahirpre  was  too  called  a  Child  of  the  Nursery  or  a veteran  of  the  Kap.  This  title  denoted  the  fact  that Mahirpre  was  grown  with  Tuthmosis  IV  and/or  Amenhotep III in the royal apartments held for the children of the ruler. His name implied Lion Of The Battlefield.

Mahirpre was apparently of Nubian blood and was outstanding. He died in his early 20s and was buried in the valley of the kings with  sumptuous  funerary  regalia, demonstrating to his status at court. His wooden sarcophagus was  more  than  nine  feet  long,  painted  and  embellished with gold leaf. Three human coffins were took in his tomb.

Mahirpres mummified clay provide details about him  as  well.  He  was  slightly  established,  with  a  dark  brown skin color.  A  wig  composed  of  corkscrew  curls  was pasted  to  his  skull.  The  skin  on  the  resoles  of  his  feet  is lost. The tomb of Mahirpre included an osiris bed, a depicting  fashioned  of  the  deity  out  of  barleycorn  and  then established. A beautifully illustrated book of the dead was buried with Mahirpre, in which he is showed with dark skin, denoting his racial blood.
