Sarenput II, also called Nubkaurenakht (Strong is Nubkaure) was a Kemetic nomarch during the reign of Nsut's ššš (Pharaohs) Senusret II and Senusret III of the 12th Dynasty. He was also the Commander of the Garrison at Elephantine during the reign of Amenemhet II from the 12th Dynasty. Among his titles, he was nomarch of the 1st nome of Upper Kemet šš š, ("Ta-Seti šæš®š, Land of the Bow"), Mayor of Elephantine, High Priest, Overseer of the Priests of Satet and Khnum, and "leader of the border patrols at the narrow door of the southern lands". He reigned for a period which is still subject of debate but usually situated between about 1925 and 1895 BCE. Sarenput had a younger brother, Shemai, whose undisturbed burial was discovered in March 2017 by University of Jena in the Qubbet el-Hawa area of Aswan, the same area where Sarenput had his tomb.
But the real mystery is how are the noses on all of the statues of Sarenput broken if his tomb was sealed when discovered. Broken noses have been attributed to what academics call iconoclasm which supposedly took place in antiquity. This evidence suggest that it is actually modern Academics of perhaps the Arab Republic of Egypt are the ones responsible for vandalizing these statues as is the case for the Nubian Priestess Amneritis who's statue was vandalized while in the care of Egyptologists. Take look here for that story.
BLACK AFRICAN PRINCESS NOSE BROKEN BY EGYPTOLOGISTS:
Interestingly enough the mummy of his brother Shemai appeared in a series "Lost Treasures of Egypt" which aired on NAT GEO, were famed Archaeologist Alejandro Jemenes-Serrano and his team ran tests on Shemai. Alejandro seemed shocked when the CT scan revealed the ethnicity of Shamai to be a Black African, which is consistent with the iconography of the 12th Dynasty Kings and Queens. Seems the Archeologists were oblivious to the tomb paintings and statues whose, features, complexion and hair texture are quite obvious to the casual observer with even the smallest amount of discernment and intellectual honesty.

Alejandros reluctance to admit Shemai's ethnicity is apparent in the video; a symptom of Egyptology's deep-rooted anti-African biased and the false assertion that ancient Egyptians were not Black Africans.
What is strange is that when the tomb of Sarenput II was discovered it was undisturbed and unopened for thousands of yeas so one must question, how on earth was all of the noses of the statues defaced if the tomb was undisturbed. It seems like the case of The Kushite princess Amenirdis I, these artifacts were defaced not by tomb robbers or enemies from their times, but by the very Egyptologists that were charged to protect them.
The tomb of Sarenput II can be considered an architectural jewel, though soberly and sparsely decorated. Alejandro Jemenes-Serrano and his team would go on to excavate the Tomb of Sarenput II and document their findings in the following peer reviewed scientific journal:
"In 2009, in the northern part of the court, an intact burial (catalogued as QH34Ī²) dated to the late Twelfth Dynasty was discovered. Although wood-boring insects had destroyed much of the coffin, enough parts survive for us to understand the high quality of the piece It was a cedar coffin fully decorated with complex offering formulae, which mentions the name and the title of the owner, the āoverseer of the houseā (jmj-rA pr), Sarenput.

Moreover, the anthropological study of his bones show that this individual was seventeen or eighteen years old when he died and his ethnic features were negroid. There is no doubt that Sarenput was member of the late Twelfth Dynasty ruling family of Elephantine because of the richness of his burial, the name of his mother (very common for women of the ruling family) and his own name, which linked him with the initiator of the lineage. But, what was unexpected was the discovery that a member of the ruling family of Elephantine had Nubian physical features.
The mummy of the anonymous deceased was analysed in order to compare his vital features with those of Sarenput. On the left part of his belly appeared a dagger covered by bandages. The handle was composed of an elephant ivory pommel with the rest made of a dark exotic wood (most probably ebony) and silver. The blade was made of copper. The high quality of workmanship and the absence of wear on the blade indicate that it was an object which defined the high rank of the owner.
His body confirmed that, as in the case of the Sarenput, he also died young (twenty one years old) and was also negroid. Future DNA analyses will confirm whether both were in any way related. All indications are that the ruling family of the Twelfth Dynasty in Elephantine had negroid features, as Habachi had already suggested from the statues that he found in Elephantine."
