Usersatet

Usersatet the king's son of Kush was under the ancient Egyptian king Amenhotep II, the king's son of Kush was one of the highest officials in ancient Egyptian state. He managed the Nubian provinces.

Usersatet was the son of Siamun and Nenwenhermenetes of which nothing further is known. Siamun was entitled zab, but indicates no specific function and was often worn in filiations of fathers. The name Usersatet may imply that it originates from the region around Elephantine, since there the goddess was worshiped Satet. Usersatet means Satet is strong.

Usersatet is known by numerous monuments. A stele from Semna bears the date 23 of the ruler. This stele contains a copy of a royal letter and warns Usersatet that he should take before subordinates, especially against foreign women in eight. These women, he seems to have brought as booty from Syria and suggests that Usersatet had accompanied the Emperor on his Syrian campaigns. The letter said to have been hand written by the king. From other sources we learn that Usersatet was commissioned to clean channels at Aswan. An important building of Usersatet is a chapel at Qasr Ibrim. It is to honor erected by Amenhotep II, but bears Usersatets name at the entrance and is therefore built with security from him. On numerous monuments of the name and the title of the Usersatet are eradicated. This suggests that he was at a certain point in his career in disgrace.

Usersatets grave is not known, but it is suspected in Thebes.
