Mesehti
Mesehti was an ancient Egyptian nomarch of the 13th ''nomos'' of Upper Egypt (''"the Upper Sycamore"'') around 2000 BCE, during the 11th dynasty. In addition, he also was ''Seal-bearer'' and ''Overseer of the priests of Wepwawet''. ==Tomb==
Mesehti is well known for his funerary equipment, found in Asyut at the end of 19th century during an illegal excavation. The contents of the tomb - which at the time of the discovery appeared undisturbed - was mainly sold to the Cairo Museum. Among the objects of the funerary equipment, the most famous are the wooden models of soldiers: a group of striding Egyptian spearmen equipped with a hide shield and a white skirt, and another group composed of 40 striding nubian archers,〔Cairo CG 257.〕 darker-skinned and wearing a red loincloth. The tomb also contained two large wooden coffins〔Cairo CG 28118; 28119.〕 whose interior is richly decorated with Coffin Texts; these coffins are among the main sources for this type of religious texts, which were much used during the First Intermediate Period and the Middle Kingdom.
