Personal Biography
Nothing is known about his life other than his profession: Wongbao Ingedt held an impressive list of military, administrative, and religious titles, such as hereditary prince and count, bearer of the seals of the king of Lower Egypt, father of god, general and army commander, and high priest. Provost (later high priest) of Khonsu, priest of "Osiris, master of Mendes", supervisor of the prophets of all the gods and supervisor of the only friend.
The name Wongbao Engedt was initially found by Pierre Montet and Georges Guyon in 1939 carved on some statues and ushabti found inside the newly discovered burial chamber of Sheshenq II. A year later, Montet discovered the burial chamber of Sousense I, where he found a golden hilt belonging to Wongbao Engedt, placed on the king's sarcophagus.
After World War II, Montet and Guyon resumed excavations and on February 13, 1946 they discovered a new, undisturbed burial chamber within the same tomb. Inside was found a granite anthropoid sarcophagus, originally belonging to a third priest of Amun named Amenhotep and dating to the 19th Dynasty. The new owner was the same Wongbao Engdt named on objects recovered from nearby graves before the war . For him, the stone coffin was covered with gold leaf, and inside it was a gold-plated wooden coffin that in turn contained a silver coffin, both in poor condition. Longbao Engdt's face was covered with a golden mummy mask, and many other pieces of jewelry were found inside the sarcophagus such as pectorals, rings, bracelets, and golden statues. Particularly striking are three exquisite vessels made of gold and silver, and a lapis lazuli statuette of Amun in the shape of a ram. Outside the sarcophagus were also found several ushabti and the four canopic jars of Wongbao Engedt. All funerary equipment is now in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo.
