Amenhotep called Huy

Amenhotep called Huy was Viceroy of Kush under 18th Dynasty King Tutankhamen. He was the successor of Tuthmosis, who served under Akhenaten. He would later be succeeded by Paser I, his son.

Huy was the son of a lady named Wenher by an unknown father. Huy was married to Taemwadjsy, chief of the harem of Amun and of the Harem of Nebkheperure (Tutankhamun). They had a son named Paser.

Huy held power spanning from Hierakonpolis to the Napatan area, conducting his governance from the protected city of Faras. He had numerous duties, including serving as a courier for Egyptian royalty. As "Overseer of all of the gold lands of Amun," Huy oversaw gold production operations, such as preserving mining sites, and collected Nubia's revenue, which included the collection of inw (gold, ivory, ebony, and other valuable goods). Depictions of this duty is depicted in the Southern Section of Huy's tomb.

Other people associated with Huy: include Harnufer, "Scribe of the gold-accounts of the king's son", and Kna, "Scribe of the king's son"

Huy had at least two administrative assistants, one for Upper Nubia, and one of Lower Nubia. The administrative assistant for Lower Nubia was Paenniut.

Titles of Huy: Hereditary prince, King's son of Kush, King's Son overseer of the Southern Lands, Scribe of the letters of the viceroy, Merymose, King's scribe, Mery-netjer priest, King's messenger to every land.

Also, Huy constructed a temple to the deified form of Tutankhamun. His brother, Mermose, was the Second Prophet of Tutankhamun, referred to as Nebkheperure in hymn.

The artifact known as the Stela of Huy from Karnak Temple is evidential of the lifetime-deification of pharaoh Tutankhamun. It contains a hymn directed to the deified form of Tutankhamun, clearly regarded him with equivalent divinity as the god Amun. Below is an English translation
