Description
Summary:Vizier Ptashshepses, son-in-law of King Nyuserre, was one of the most influential officials of the second half of the Fifth Dynasty. His life and remarkable career are attested not only by his very important titles, but also by his imposing mastaba, the largest and once the best decorated non-royal tomb in the Abusir cemetery. However, his origin, and also his family life seem to be shrouded in mystery. One of the secrets of the vizier’s family is the erased figure and name of his eldest son, Khafini. This article is dedicated to this and some other problems concerning the family of Vizier Ptahshepses.
