Ankhefenmut was the eldest son of the High Priest of Amun Herihor, who was the de facto ruler of Upper Egypt from 1076-1070 BCE. He is depicted first in Herihor's procession of sons at the temple of Khonsu at Karnak.[1] Nedjemet, who is depicted leading the procession as queen consort, was probably his mother.
Burial[]
The whereabouts of Ankhefenmut's tomb and mummy remain unknown, but given his position he was presumably buried somewhere at the Theban Necropolis.
