About Hori

Hori was an ancient Egyptian priest and high Priest of Amun.

Hori was a High Priest of Anhur during the reign of Ramesses II. He was the son of the High Priest of Amun Parennefer called Wennefer and his wife Isis. He may be identical to the High Priest of Amun mentioned on the statue of the Overseer of the Charioteers named Kanakht.

Family Hori comes from a very well connected family documented on a family monument of his brother Amenemone (Naples Museum 1069).

The monuments of his son - the Commander of the Chariotry Kanakht - shows that the High Priest of Hori served during the Reign of Ramesses II. Hori likely served as High Priest between Nebwenenef and Paser.
