Hesy-Ra (alt. Hesire, Hesira) was an official, physician (possibly the first known in history)〔Adolphe Gutbub, ''Mélanges Adolphe Gutbub'', Université de Montpellier 1984, p.190〕 and scribe who lived during the Third dynasty of Egypt, served under the pharaoh Djoser, and was buried in an elaborate tomb at Saqqara. He bore titles such as "Chief of Dentists and Physicians"〔Helaine Selin, Hugh Shapiro, ''Medicine Across Cultures: History and Practice of Medicine in Non-Western Cultures,'' Springer 2003, p.35〕 and "Chief of the King's Scribes". ==Wooden panel set of Hesy-Ra== The wooden panels of Hesy-Ra are rare examples of high execution of hieroglyphs on wood. The panels are in raised bas relief and have some of the oldest forms of the Egyptian language hieroglyphs. The panels contain titles of Hesy-Ra and a thematic portrayal of him in different poses. There were originally 11 panels, but only 6 of them have survived. These 6 panels were used as a cover for his mud brick tomb. These panels are carved with the figures of tomb's owner in different poses and ages. Hesy-Ra in the prime of life - He is depicted here with all signs of nobility ; *Standing with his left feet leg forward. *Wearing a straight wig. *Hesy-Ra holds in his right hand the ḫrp scepter as a sign of power and nobility. *In his left hand, the scribal equipment consisting of palette with two inkwells and a leather bag for supplies. *He wears a kilt with a belt on his waist.
