Khubau

Khubau (fl. c. 2300 BC) was an ancient Egyptian high official who lived at the end of the Old Kingdom in the 6th Dynasty. He might date under king Pepi II or shortly after. Khubau is known from his tomb at Saqqara close to the Pyramid of Pepi II. His proper tomb was found by Gaston Maspero.^[1] Further elements, including two small obelisks and a small stela were excavated by Gustave Jéquier^[2]
