Hemiunu is believed to be the architect of the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt. He was a son of Prince Nefermaat and his wife Itet, a grandson of Sneferu and relative of Khufu, the Old Kingdom pharaoh. Hemiunu had three sisters and many brothers. In his tomb he is described as a hereditary prince, count and sealer of the King of Lower Egypt. As Vizier he succeeded Kanefer, his uncle, and his father Nefermaat. His tomb lies close to Khufu's pyramid, and contains reliefs of his image. Some Stones of his mastaba are Marked with dates referring to Khufu's reign. His statue can be found at the Pelizaeus Museum, Hildesheim, Germany. |
