Diemazz

Yuny or Iuny was an official through the reign of Ramesses II, in the 19th Dynasty, serving as chief scribe of the court, the overseer of priests, and royal steward. His tomb at Deir Durunka, south of Assiut, portrays Yuny as an hereditary prince and a count. A life-sized statue of him was discovered in his tomb.

Viceroy of Kush

Prior to Ramesses' reign, Yuny had served in Seti I's administration as the viceroy of Kush where he started the Egyptian building projects at Amara West and Aksha.^[1] It was "on his orders that the first blocks of the Abu Simbel temples were cut."^[2] Iuny commemorated his work with a rock-cut scene showing himself standing before Ramesses II on the Abu Simbel cliff.^[2] After ten years under Ramesses II, Iuny retired from his post in Nubia.^[2]
