Ankh-Wennefer Information is quoted from link below: “He was the second profit(sic) in the temple of Min. Min was a God of fertility in ancient Egypt. He came from the ancient city of Ahkmim in Egypt. Ankh-Wennefer was the person that ran the entire temple management of hundreds of people. The temple was the center of everything in the city. Ankh-Wennefer was the leader and a highly ranked prestigious person." "Another thing that is interesting about him and mummies from Ahkmim, Ankh-Wennefer’s uncle was discovered to be in the British Museum in London and his son is in the Legion of Honor Museum in San Francisco, California. So, there have been hundreds of tombs opened from Ahkmim, which have been dispersed around the world. The most famous and old time museums have mummies in their collections.” Mason's Mummy: Tacoma History February 29, 2016 Very Postmortem: Mummies and Medicine Opens at the Legion of Honor on Halloween 2009 http://www.tacoma.com/mason-and-the-mummy-a-featured-exhibit-at-the-washington-state-history-museum/ |
