Iuty
Iuty was an ancient Egyptian vizier presumably of the Late New Kingdom whose family tomb made up of bricks was discovered in December 1964 by the Egyptian archaeologist , in the so-called "Cemetery of the Nobles" of Bubastis (Tell Basta). The tomb was situated near to the family tombs of Hory I and Hory II, two viceroys of Kush during the 20th Dynasty. Iuty’s tomb architecture has remained unpublished,[1] but some objects of the burial equipment including faience and calcite shabtis as well as a calcite model scribe's palette have recently been studied.[2] Iuty cannot be dated precisely at present; but according to the German Egyptologist , he may have officiated during the 20th Dynasty. A calcite canopic jar (representing Duamutef) belonging to Iuty’s son, the high-priest of Bastet, Ay, was also found in the same tomb. Before this discovery Iuty was only known from a few objects seen at the beginning of the 20th century on the art market in Cairo.[3]
