Ahmose

Ahmose in hieroglyphs

Ahmose (“Child of the Moon”) was an Ancient Egyptian prince and High Priest of Re during the eighteenth dynasty.

Ahmose was probably a son of Pharaoh Amenhotep II. He was in office as High Priest of Re in Heliopolis during the reign of his brother Thutmose IV. A stela of his, which originally stood probably in Heliopolis, is now in Berlin, his broken statue (probably from Koptos) is in Cairo. The first syllable of his name is spelled as a crescent moon.
