HEMIUNU (fl. 2600-2560 BC). Egyptian prince of the Old Kingdom.
Probably identified with a like-named son of Nefermaat. He served
as vizier under Khufu. He was buried in a mastaba tomb at Giza. It
is speculated that he may have been in charge of the construction of
the Great Pyramid. A statue from his tomb is now housed in the
Pelizaeus Museum in Hildesheim, Germany
