Ankhhaf

Architects - The People

Prince of Egypt, son of Pharaoh Snefru, Ankhhaf became the Architect to his half Brother, Pharaoh Khufu, and his Nephew, Pharaoh Khafre. It appears that Prince Ankhhaf took on an architectural role of the Great Pyramid at the Giza Necropolis during its later stages as a Vizier as well as an Architect.

It seems that this role was concerned with the deliverance of the Tura White Limestone, from the quarry to the Port, and on top the top of the Pyramid’s Limestone base.

Egyptologists also believe that he may have had an Architectural role in the construction of the Great Sphinx, also at the Giza Necropolis. Click here for more information about the Great Sphinx

He married his half-sister, Princess Hetepheres, and together they had their own child, Princess Hetepheres.

His own Tomb was the largest ever discovered in the Eastern Cemetery in the Giza Necropolis and is designed as Mastaba Tomb G7510. For more details about his Tomb, click here
