Family

Neferweben was the son of vizier Amethu called Ahmose, who served during the reign of Thutmose II and the early years of the combined reigns of Hatshepsut and Thutmose III. He was the brother of vizier Useramen and the father of vizier Rekhmire. Useramen is last attested in year 28 of Thutmose III, while Rekhmire is first attested as vizier in year 32. According to an older hypothesis Neferweben served as vizier in the intervening years.[2] However, his canopic jar was found in Saqqara where he was most likely buried. The burial place indicates that he was a vizier with his office in the northern part of the country (during the New Kingdom the vizierate was divided into Upper (South) and Lower Egypt (North)).[3]

Vizier

The vizier Neferweben is known from two canopic jars found in Saqqara. The two jars are part of the Nugent collection (originally belonging to George Nugent-Grenville, 2nd Baron Nugent). One of the jars has an inscription dedicated to Neith and Duamutef, while the other mentions Serket and Qebehsenuef.[1]

The Boston Museum of Fine Arts has a small red granite statue (29.728) inscribed for Neferweben.[4][2]

gollark: Expanding on what I previously said, you can already pay for a commercial suborbital flight these days, and space travel is cheapening, so maybe by 2030 you'll be able to travel between continents by rocket in an hour or so by commercial suborbital rocket for... a million dollars or so.People will inevitably complain about this, too.

gollark: Yes they do. Not that they're actually used because nuclear.
