Maiherpri
Maiherperi was an Ancient Egyptian noble of Nubian origin buried in the Valley of the Kings, in tomb KV36. He probably lived during the rule of Thutmose IV, and received the honour of a burial in the Valley of the Kings, the royal necropolis. His name can be translated as ''Lion of the Battlefield'',.〔Forbes, Dennis C. Tombs, Treasures, Mummies: Seven Great Discoveries of Egyptian Archaeology. p.104 KMT Communications, Inc. 1998. ISBN 1-879388-06-5〕 Amongst his titles were ''Child of the Nursery'' and ''Fan-bearer on the Right Side of the King''. There is speculation that the first title signified that he grew up in the royal nursery as a prince of a vassal territory, or perhaps was the son of a lesser wife or concubine of the pharaoh.〔Forbes, Dennis C. Tombs, Treasures, Mummies: Seven Great Discoveries of Egyptian Archaeology. p.106 KMT Communications, Inc. 1998. ISBN 1-879388-06-5〕 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.〔Forbes, Dennis C. Tombs, Treasures, Mummies: Seven Great Discoveries of Egyptian Archaeology. p.104 KMT Communications, Inc. 1998. ISBN 1-879388-06-5〕 This same title was also used to denote the Viceroys of Kush later in the New Kingdom.〔Forbes, Dennis C. Tombs, Treasures, Mummies: Seven Great Discoveries of Egyptian Archaeology. p.104 KMT Communications, Inc. 1998. ISBN 1-879388-06-5〕
==Tomb of Maiherpri==
In Maiherperi's tomb, a papyrus was found depicting him with literally "blackish" skin, leading scholars to believe he was in fact Nubian or of Nubian descent.〔O'Connor & Cline, ''op.cit.'', p.216〕 The papyrus in question was the ''Book of the Dead'', in the eyes of O'Connor and Cline "()ertainly the most famous and arguably the most beautiful" Book of the Dead.〔Eric H. Cline, David B. O'Connor, ''Thutmose III: A New Biography'', University of Michigan Press 2006, ISBN 0-472-11467-0, p.315〕
The mummy was unwrapped by Georges Daressy in March 1901,〔Forbes, Dennis C. Tombs, Treasures, Mummies: Seven Great Discoveries of Egyptian Archaeology. p.104 KMT Communications, Inc. 1998. ISBN 1-879388-06-5〕 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.〔Forbes, Dennis C. Tombs, Treasures, Mummies: Seven Great Discoveries of Egyptian Archaeology. p.105 KMT Communications, Inc. 1998. ISBN 1-879388-06-5〕 He also had tightly curled, woolly hair, which turned out to be a wig that had been glued to his scalp.〔Forbes, Dennis C. Tombs, Treasures, Mummies: Seven Great Discoveries of Egyptian Archaeology. p.105 KMT Communications, Inc. 1998. ISBN 1-879388-06-5〕
