Documents

Ptahmose is known by a number of objects that occupy an extraordinary career and concentration of power. In addition to the Office of Wesires he was High Priest of Amun, Mayor of Thebes, chief of all priests of Upper and Lower Egypt and fan-bearer at the right hand of the king. The title of head of all works of the king suggests that he led several major construction projects of the ruler.

Despite some impressive objects that call him, little of it is known, which may be due especially the fact that his grave has not been found. He served well in the first years of the reign of Amenhotep III. His name and title are handed on a stele and a cubit.
