Penthu served at court during the reign of Akhenaten. Pentu held the titles of sealbearer of the King of Lower Egypt, the sole companion, the attendant of the Lord of the Two Lands, the favorite of the good god, king's scribe, the king's subordinate, First servant of the Aten in the mansion of the Aten in Akhetaten, Chief of physicians, chamberlain. Pentu's tomb is one of the six Northern tombs at Amarna. The tomb is located to the south of the Tomb of Meryra. The tomb is very similar to the tomb of Ahmes. It is T-shaped and the inner chamber would have served as the burial chamber.〔 The tomb is decorated and scenes include a visit from the royal family to the temple and a reward scene.〔N. de G. Davies, The rock tombs of El-Amarna, Parts III and IV, 1905 (Reprinted 2004), The Egypt Exploration Society, ISBN 0-85698-160-5〕 North Wall: The royal family is shown entering the temple.
