Family and career

Djedptahiufankh is only known from his burial and

the Two Lands". The latter may suggest that he was related to the royal family of possibly the 21st Dynasty or 22nd Dynasty.[1]
It has been conjectured that Djedptahiufankh was the husband of
DB320.[3]

Death and burial

He died around the middle of Shoshenq I's reign according to inscriptions found written on the bandages of his mummy and coffin. He was buried in

High Priest of Amun Pinedjem I.[4] DB320 was discovered in the 19th century and quickly became famous for containing a cache of many of the most significant New Kingdom royal mummies including the mortal remains of Amenhotep I, the Great Ramesses II, Ramesses III, Ramesses IX, and Thutmose I, Thutmose II and Thutmose III.[5]

Three separate mummy bandages dating to Years 5, 10 and 11 of Shoshenq I were found on Djedptahiufankh's body.[citation needed] Djedptahiufankh's burial was found intact and undisturbed, and his mummy was unwrapped by Gaston Maspero in 1886. Amulets were found within the wrappings on the body, with ones in the form of snakes and lotus at the throat and a heart scarab on the chest. Grafton Elliott Smith removed the remainder of the wrappings in 1906 and discovered a group of various stone amulets on the left arm including those in the shape a heart, eyes, a uraeus, and djed-pillars. A bronze embalming plate was placed over the incision used to remove the organs. Bundles containing the mummified organs were placed inside the body cavity; a small amulet depicting the baboon-headed god Hapi was included with the intestines. Thin gold rings were found on most of the fingers, which Smith suggested were used to hold gold finger stalls in place.[6]
