Details
Kaikhenet was an ancient Egyptian local Nomarch in the 10th Upper Egyptian nome; the latter called Wadjet in the Egyptian language. Kaikhenet lived at the beginning of the Fifth Dynasty and is known from his decorated rock cut tomb at Hemamieh. Decorated rock cut tombs are very rare in the Egyptian provinces before the end of the Fifth Dynasty. The tombs at Hemamieh are an exception. They belong to the earliest ones in the provinces. Kaikhenet II was most likely the son of another Nomarch also called Kaikhenet I. The father-son relation of both Nomarchs is not fully certain but in the tomb of Kaikhenet I is depicted a son called Kaikhenet, that might be Kaikhenet II. If this identification is correct, his mother was most likely Khentkaus, the wife of Kaikhenet I. Kaikhenet's II wife was a woman called Iufi. She bore several titles, including acquaintance of the king, priestess of Neith, north of the wall, priestess of Hathor, lady of Denderah, and king's daughter (of his body). Two sons are known. Rahotep became perhaps the successor of Kaikhenet as Nomarch. The other son was called Kaires and bore the simple title scribe. His daughters are called Nefertkau and Djefa.
