Siese (also Zaaset, ''son of Isis'') was an Ancient Egyptian vizier and treasurer of the Twelfth Dynasty. He was most likely in office under Amenemhat II (about 1929 BC to 1895 BC). Information about Siese is primarily derived from his mastaba excavated by Jacques de Morgan around 1894/95 at Dahshur and rediscovered in 2008 by an Egyptian team. The mastaba was decorated with a palace facade and with scenes showing Siese and his family. Four panels with the image of Siese in front of an offering table were excavated by de Morgan and are now on display in the Egyptian Museum of Cairo. The burial chamber of the tomb is decorated with pyramid texts. On the chamber, he is given the title ''treasurer''. From other objects it is possible to reconstruct elements of his career. He started as a ''chamberlain'', then was appointed to the post of a ''high steward'', and became ''treasurer''. Towards the end of his career he was appointed ''vizier''. == Literature == *Wolfram Grajetzki: ''Court Officials of the Egyptian Middle Kingdom'', London 2009 p. 56-57, pl. 2 ISBN 978-0-7156-3745-6 *Samy el-Husseiny, Adel Okasha Khafagy: ''The Dahshur tomb of Vizier Siese rediscovered'', In: ''Egyptian Archaeology'' 36 (2010), p. 21-24 *William Kelly Simpson: ''Lepsius Pyramid LV at Dahschur: the Mastaba of Si-Ese, Vizier of Amenemhet II'', In: ''Pyramid studies and other essays presented to I.
