Heqanefer

To secure control over the new region they appointed people of the local elite as governors.

Miam (modern Aniba) was a town in Lower Nubia, a regional center and capital of the Nubian provinces.

[2] The viceroy of Kush was evidently the highest official in the Nubian provinces, while Heqanefer was in the hierarchy under him.

Other Nubian officials are shown in the tomb too, but Heqanefer is the only one named, providing evidence that he was of special importance.

The two totally different appearances of Heqanefer at home and in Egypt caused some discussion in Egyptology about local identities in Nubia.
