Maya was one of the great men in the Egypt of Tutankhamun and Horemheb, but his career may have started earlier: during the reign of the famous pharaoh Akhenaten. Under Tutankhamun and Horemheb he was a kind of minister of finance and was in charge of all major construction projects in the country. The construction and maintenance of the important cemeteries also fell under his responsibility, especially those of the pharaohs in the Valley of the Kings.
