Menkheperraseneb I was High Priest of Amun from the time of Thutmose III. Possibly the uncle of Menkheperreseneb II. It was assumed up until recently that there was one High Priest of Amun with the name of Menkheperraseneb. It was assumed that this individual had two Theban tombs (TT86 and TT112). There is a precedance for people with two tomb (Senenmut - favorite of Hatshepsut - for instance). Dorman has argued that there are two HPA by the name of Menkheperre-seneb. A discussion of the identification and dating of the two HPA can be found in Thutmose III: A New Biography, by O’Conner and Cline [1]

Menkheperraseneb I is possibly buried in Thebes in TT 86.
