Senneferi

The Ancient Egyptian noble Senneferi was Overseer of the Seal and "Overseer of the Gold-Land of Amun", during the reign of Thutmose III of the 18th dynasty. He was buried in Theban tomb 99 (TT99), located in the Sheikh Abd el-Qurna district of the Theban Necropolis, opposite Luxor, in Egypt.[1]

Senneferi followed Tay in the office as Overseer of the Seal. Tay was for sure still in year 25 of Thutmose III in office. Seneferi is for sure the first time on a papyrus attested, that dates in the years 28 to 35 of the reign of the same king.[2]

Senneferi seems to have been related to Amenhotep, the owner of Tomb C.3, as he is mentioned in the inscriptions in that tomb, and a statue of Amenhotep was found in TT99.[3]
