Baqet III

Apart from the position of governor of the entire nome, Baqet III also held the titles haty-a, treasurer of the king of Lower Egypt, confidential friend, true royal acquaintance, and mayor of Nekheb.

[3] After his death, his new loyalty allowed him to be succeeded by his probable son Khety and by his descendants until the time of Amenemhat I, when a family turnover took place in the governorship with the installation of Khnumhotep I.

[2] Baqet III was buried in the necropolis of his clan in Beni Hasan inside the tomb no.

[4] The northern wall depicts Baqet and his wife in their daily life, the hunting of various animals including fantastic ones,[5] and various artisans whilst working.

The eastern wall shows a fortress garrisoned by Egyptians and besieged by a mixed army composed of Egyptians infantry, Nubian bowmen and maybe Libyan slingers,[3] likely representing a Theban offensive; on the same wall are also depicted an impressive number of wrestling positions and techniques.
