Biography

Gemenefhorbak was the "Vizier of the North",{{cite book|first=Christopher H.|last=Naunton|year=2011|title=Regime Change and The Administration of Thebes During The Twenty-fifth Dynasty|type=Ph.D. dissertation|publisher=Swansea University|pages=11–12}} meaning that he exercised his authority over Lower Egypt. He is mainly known from his meta-graywacke sarcophagus which is now in the Museo Egizio (Turin 2201); on it, the carving of a necklace with the goddess Maat is a sign of his judicial office.{{cite web|url=http://collezioni.museoegizio.it/eMuseumPlus?service=direct/1/ResultLightboxView/result.t2.collection_lightbox.$TspTitleLink.link&sp=10&sp=Scollection&sp=SfieldValue&sp=0&sp=0&sp=3&sp=Slightbox_3x4&sp=0&sp=Sdetail&sp=0&sp=F&sp=T&sp=1|website=collezioni.museoegizio.it|title=Gemenefhorbak's sarcophagus lid.
