Menkheper was “Overseer of the granary of the Lord of the Two Lands” and a “waâb” priest in Thutmose III’s mortuary temple. He was the son of Nakht-Min (TT.87 - Mon.46). The hieroglyphs are less well preserved than those of his father’s tomb but more individual occurrences have survived. The canon is respected. The images are taken from Tafeln 27, 28, 29, 36, 41 and 42 in Guksch and Johannes (1995).
