Pediamenopet

Who is Pediamenopet?

Padiamenopea, also: Petamenophis, Padiamenope, Padiamenipet or Petamenofi, was the original resident of Tomb 33 in Egypt's Valley of the Kings. His tomb is the largest non-royal site in the valley.

Padiamenopea was a librarian and archivist; in some inscriptions he is referred to by the title Chief Lector Priest. He served one or more pharaohs during the 25th to 26th dynasty time period, and amassed enough wealth and power to build a labyrinthine tomb covered with hundreds of meters of frescoes and hieroglyphics.
