Summary
Updated 2026-08-19

Amenhotep was the High Priest of Amun towards the end of the Twentieth Dynasty of Egypt, serving under Ramesses IX, Ramesses X and Ramesses XI. He was the son of Ramessesnakht, the previous high priest of Amun. It is not beyond dispute who succeeded him in office. For a long time it was assumed that he was followed by the High Priest Herihor. However, Karl Jansen-Winkeln has suggested that Amenhotep was instead succeeded by the High Priest Piankh. We know the names of several of his brothers and a sister:his (eldest?) brother, the prophet of Amun Meribast II his brother, the Chief Steward Usimarenakth II his sister Aatmeret I his brother, the Second Prophet of Amun Nesamun I
