Sennedjem (“The one who pleases”) lived during the late 18th Dynasty through the 19th Dynasty, working under Seti I and Ramesses II (c. 1290–1250 B.C.). He held the title “Servant in the Place of Truth” (sḏm-ʿš m st-mꜣꜥt), which means he was a craftsman of the royal necropolis, living at Deir el-Medina. His work involved cutting, plastering, and decorating the tombs of pharaohs and their queens in the Valley of the Kings and Valley of the Queens. Workers like Sennedjem were highly skilled artisans, not mere labourers; they were essentially the master builders and artists of the New Kingdom’s royal afterlife palaces
