Maiherpri

He probably lived during the rule of Thutmose IV, and received the honour of a burial in the royal necropolis.

[3] There is speculation that the first title signified that he grew up in the royal nursery as a prince of a vassal territory,[4] or perhaps was the son of a lesser wife or concubine of the pharaoh.

[3][5] He was among the first during the New Kingdom to hold the second title, and was literally true in that he was by the pharaoh's side, likely as an advisor or bodyguard.

[2] Maiherperi's copy of the Book of the Dead, which, in the eyes of O'Connor and Cline is "[c]ertainly the most famous and arguably the most beautiful" Book of the Dead[6] depicts him with literally "blackish" skin, leading scholars to believe he was an Egyptian of Nubian descent.

[7] His mummy was unwrapped by Georges Daressy in March 1901,[2] revealing a mummy whose dark skin matched that depicted on his copy of the Book of the Dead, and thought that this was likely Maiherperi's natural colour, unchanged by the mummification process.
