Ptah-em-Wia
In Ancient Egypt, long ago,
Lived a man named Ptahemwia, you know.
He served under Ramses II, so grand,
With titles and positions throughout the land.
He was a scribe, writing with care,
Recording the king's words, oh so rare.
He oversaw the cattle, strong and true,
In the Temple of Usermaatre-Setepenre, too.
In the House of Amun, Ptahemwia did reside,
He served the gods, both high and low,
In the Temple of Million of Years, you know.
Objects of Ptahemwia, we have found,
Photographs of his tomb chapel, so renowned.
A pyramidion, with gods he stood before,
And a statue of him, with Osiris, for sure.
In 2021, his tomb was rediscovered,
Though looted before, it still uncovered.
Courtyards and a temple, grand and tall,
With paintings and a sarcophagus, found by all.
