Hemre, Isi

Hemre, with the second (good name) name Isi, was an Ancient Egyptian provincial governor (in older literature often called Nomarch) of the 6th Dynasty at the end of the Old Kingdom, around 2200 BC.

In his decorated tomb chapel Hemre bears many titles: most importantly he was overlord (governor) of Dju-fet, the 12th Upper Egyptian province, but also had the title of a vizier, which granted him a very high status, second only to the king.

[2] The tomb chapel of Hemre (modern number N72) consists of two rooms.

On the north wall Hemre is shown on front of craftsmen.

Smiths and jewellery makers are depicted, as well as a harvest scene.
