Abstract
One of the most famous Scribes ever was the scribe Ramose, who held the highest administrative position as ascribe in Deir El-Madina from around the year 5 to the year 38 of the reign of the king Ramesses II. Ramose was one of the most famous outstanding character of the community that resided in Deir El- Madina village, None else left as many Stelae or statues on an offering fulfilment of a vow or .in gratitude to nearly all Divinities of Thebes, all Egypt and even Asiatic Gods too. The wealth, character and social prestige of the scribe Ramose not only appeared in his own three tombs, but also testified by his presence in the burials of at least four other of his contemporary characters, More than hundred various monuments were dedicated by him or mentioned his name, Together with the Vizier Paser, to whom the scribe Ramose was very close, he was certainly at the origin of the construction of building dedicated to Ramesses II and the introduction of the new Cult of the Hathor Cow in the village of Deir El- Madina
