Everything about Hannu totally explained
Hannu, alt. Hennu, Henu, Henenu etc., was an Egyptian official serving under
Mentuhotep III. He bore the titles of Bearer of the Royal Seal, Steward, Sole Companion, Chief of the Six Courts of Justice. He was overseer of "that which is and that which is not", of the temples, of the granary and the White House (for example the treasury), of horn and hoof (for example of the cattle). As Keeper of the Door of the South he was responsible for the defence of Egypt's southern border and claims to have subdued the
Haunebu.
In the eighth year of the reign of Mentuhotep II he set out from
Coptos at the head of a three thousand men strong army, crossed the mountainous Eastern Desert by way of
Wadi Hammamat and on the coast of the
Red Sea he apparently reassembled a ship his men had carried with them. He sent the ship off to the
Land of Punt, though some think that he commanded it himself, the record being ambiguous. After the ship's return Hannu delivered the traded goods (referred to as "gifts" or perhaps "tribute") including
myrrh, precious
metal and
wood to the king.
