Minnefer (vizier)
Minnefer was an Ancient Egyptian official in the reign of king Niuserre. He bears the titles of a vizier and was therefore the highest official at the royal court, only second to the king. Minnefer is known from different sources. He is depicted in the funerary temple of king Niuserre at Abusir providing firm evidence for his dating under this king. He is named on a short quarry-mark painted on a stone that was found in a wall around the pyramid complex of the king. He is mentioned in papyri found at Abusir. He is also known from his sarcophagus that is now in thw Rijksmuseum van Oudheden in Leiden.[1], His mastaba was found at Saqqara.[2] It is not yet published.
