Resseneb

Resseneb was a short-lived vizier in Upper Egypt during the 13th Dynasty, preceded by his father, the famous Ankhu, and succeeded by his brother Iymeru.

Family He was the son of the vizier Ankhu and was born to Mereryt. His younger brother was the vizier Iymeru. His sister was Senebhenas, married to Wepwauthotep.

Attestations Resseneb is attested in several sources. He is first attested as 'Great Scribe of the Vizier' (Scarab impression Mirgissa 3-4 (Q 373); Abydos Stela Bristol H 2732), serving his father, the vizier Ankhu, and later became a 'vizier' himself.
