Nomarch

Baqet II was an Ancient Egyptian local governor in the Oryx nome dating to the early Middle Kingdom (11th Dynasty) who is mainly known from his tomb chapel at Beni Hasan (BH 33). Little is known about his person. He was the son of Baqet I and his wige Djehutyqai. In the tomb decoration appear texts with titles of Baqet II. Most importantly he was Great overlord of the Oryx nome, but also Haty-a, Royal sealer and sole friend.[2]His tomb consists of a rock cut chapel and undrground burial chambers. The chapel is decorated with paintings, but they are not very well preserved, especially the paintings on the lower parts of the walls are mostly gone. The underground burial chambers were decorated with paintings too.[3] Here was also found a skeleton of man around 25 to 25 years old, perhaps belonging to Baqet II.[4]
