APEREL
APEREL (fl. 1370 BC). Northern vizier of Amenhotep III. His intact
tomb was excavated at Saqqara beginning in 1976, culminating in
the opening of the burial chamber in 1987. His existence was hitherto
unknown. Aperel’s name is Semitic, but his burial was thoroughly
Egyptian, so it cannot be necessarily assumed that he was of foreign
origin as Semitic names were sometimes used by Egyptians. See also

KAGEMNI; MERERUKA; NEFERMAAT; PASER; PTAHHOTEP;
PTAHSHEPSES; RAMESSES I; REKHMIRE.
