Description
Rahotep was a high official who lived at the end of the 3rd and the beginning of the 4th Dynasty. According to his titulary, he was the physical son of the king.
hat Rahotep’s tomb was located at Meidum and that, despite the absence of Huni’s name at the Meidum cemetary, Huni has been assumed to have been the builder of the collapsed pyramid at this site.
It has also been argued that the title ‘physical son of the king’ was purely honorific and does not imply that Rahotep’s father was a king at all. There have indeed been examples of the title ‘son of the king’ being honorific, but the addition of ‘physical’ in Rahotep’s case does seem to suggest that Rahotep was a the son of an actual king.
The name of Rahotep’s mother is not known.
Rahotep’s titulary shows him to have held several offices in the civil administration, in priesthood and in the military. He was a ‘unique Chief of Seers at Heliopolis’, ‘Chief of the Hall’, ‘Keeper of the Ames Sceptre’, ‘Eldest of the Palace’, ‘great unique one at the place of the beer measurers’, a ‘Great One of the city of Pe’, ‘overseer of transporters’, ‘general’, ‘controller of the archers’ and a ‘physical son of the King’.
