Who was senenmut?

Senmut, or Senenmut, was a middle-class commoner from Armant (Iunu-Montu), son of Ramose and Hatnofer, simply listed as "honorable" and "lady of the house" within their tomb (found beneath his mortuary chapel). He had four brothers and two sisters. Despite such humble beginnings, something happened to earn him a low administrative position during the reign of Tuthmoses I or Tuthmosis II. More than likely, this first rank was "chief of the sealers". Later, he became tutor and Steward to Hatshepsut, and was honored by Hatshepsut and Tuthmoses II for taking part in a procession of Hathor, and became the tutor, steward, and 'great father nurse' to Neferure, Hatshepsut's daughter. After the death of Tuthmoses II, he rose in rank to become one of the most powerful men in Egypt, including well over 80 honorable titles, including chief architect of Deir al-Bahri and High Steward of the King Hatshepsut. His four brothers also received honorable titles. With his strong, almost fatherly connection to Neferure, the placement of his tomb over Hatshepsut's chapel, pictures in his tomb of himself becoming Osiris in the afterlife (an honor reserved only for kings), and risque grafiti said to portray him and Hatshepsut, it is rumored that this commoner and the Queen-Pharaoh were lovers, and that Neferure may have been his daughter.
