spiritsdancinginthenight:Userhat recieves offerings, alongside his wife and Mother.Userhat, a commoner of the 19th Dynasty, had a most unusual position, apparently with grave responsibilities. He was called Neferhabef, “First prophet of the Royal Ka of Tuthmosis I”. Of course in ancient Egypt, the Ka was a person’s soul. Actually, this means that he served in the cult temple of Tuthmosis I, probably “the Mansion of the Ka of Aakheperkare, as the Temple of Thutmosis was named. He actually served during the reigns of Ramesses I and Seti I. We know that his mother and father were Khensem and Tausert, that he had another wife named Shepset (Hatshepsut), along with two other wives and probably one son and one daughter. The names of the second two wives, however, were obliterated from his tomb, TT 51, in the area know as the Tombs of the Nobles on the West Bank at Luxor (ancient Thebes). This tomb is not to be confused with an apparent other Userhat who occupied tomb number 56. -- source link
