Mose was an ancient Egyptian official with the title scribe of the treasury of Ptah. He lived under Ramesses II, around 1250 BC. He is mainly known from his decorated tomb chapel that was excavated by Victor Loret at Saqqara, close to the Pyramid of Teti. Most of the blocks from the tomb chapel were brought to the Egyptian Museum at Cairo. Mose quickly became famous within research after the discovery of the tomb, as the walls of his tomb chapel contained long texts reporting a legal battle over a land dispute. The battle went over several generations and is an important document for the history of law in Ancient Egypt. It is most interesting to see how women acted independently at the court.
