Simut

Simut or Samut (“Son of Mut”) was an ancient Egyptian priest who held the position of Second Prophet of Amun towards the end of the reign of Pharaoh Amenhotep III.

He started his career as a wab priest in the temple of Amun and a porter of the god's processional shrine.

He was appointed Second Prophet in Year 34, it is likely that the previous holder of the title, Anen, the pharaoh's brother-in-law died around this time.

Simut was also treasurer (“Overseer of the House of Silver”) and “sealer of every contract in Karnak”.

He is depicted in the Theban tomb of Vizier Ramose among the mourners.
