The story of Senenmut, the highest official under the female pharaoh Hatshepsut, usually ends with the damnatio memoriae it is often assumed that he shared with his royal mistress. However, more than most elite ancient Egyptians, Senenmut made extensive plans for his eternal commemoration - and seems to have enjoyed an enduring reputation in some quarters long after his death. This lecture reviews the evidence for the legacy of Senenmut, in both ancient and modern times.
