Parennefer

The ancient Egyptian noble Parennefer was Akhenaten's close advisor before the latter came to the throne, and in later times Parennefer served as his Royal Butler, an office which brought him into intimate contact with the king. His titles include "The King's Cup Bearer," "Washer of the King's Hands," "Chief Craftsman," and "Overseer of All the Works in the Mansion of Aten." He was instrumental in imposing the "Amarna style" in architecture.
