Biography

Iymeru was a son of the better known vizier Ankhu, along with his brother and predecessor Resseneb. According to Wolfram Grajetzki, both the two brothers probably enjoyed a brief office as vizier because they are both poorly attested.[1] Other sources suggest instead that Iymeru officiated during the reigns of pharaohs Khendjer, his successor Imyremeshaw and maybe even beyond.[2]

Iymeru is attested, along with

New Kingdom. The replacement probably occurred during the 19th century, when such "restorations" were common measures.[2]
