Note

Ankhhaf was an Egyptian prince and served as vizier and overseer of Works to the Pharaoh Khafre, who was Ankhhaf's nephew. He lived during 4th dynasty of Egypt. A son of pharaoh Sneferu and an unknown wife, he had an elder brother, Kanefer. He was younger half-brother to Khufu, who became a King after Sneferu died. Ankhhaf's tomb in Giza (G 7510) depicts his sister-wife Princess Hetepheres. Hetepheres was the eldest daughter of Sneferu and Queen Hetepheres I and thus Ankhhaf's half-sister. Ankhhaf and Hetepheres had a daughter, who was the mother of Ankhetef. Ankhhaf was almost certainly a witness to the building of the Great Pyramid of Giza and likely played a role in the construction of the Sphinx. His mastaba tomb, G 7510, was the largest in the eastern cemetery at Giza. A superb and realisticpainted limeStone portrait bust of Ankhhaf discovered in his tomb is considered the Work "of a master" of Ancient Egyptian art from the time of the Old Kingdom, and can be seen at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. |
