Amenmose, son of Pendjerty

A statue now in the British museum indicates that Amenmose's father Pendjerty was from Iwny (modern Esna). : p:n-M36:t*Z4-O49 - Pendjerty in hieroglyphics : i-A2-S3:Z1*Z1-i-i - Name recorded in TT 373 Several of the monuments Amenmose left behind show the goddess Neith in a place of prominence, which may be a reference to the birthplace of his father. Neith was worshipped in Esna. In his tomb in Thebes Amenmose is said to be not only a scribe, but also the Head of the Temples. This may indicate that he inspected temples. Hibachi mentions that this may explain why his monuments were found in so many different locations. ==Monuments==
