    Rekhmire's enduring accolade is his tomb, TT100, which is universally regarded as one of the most important and best-preserved tombs of the New Kingdom. It is cited as the most informative source on ancient Egyptian governance, and the "Installation of the Vizier" text is a cornerstone of Egyptological study. His inclusion in academic curricula worldwide and his status as the subject of extensive scholarly research serve as his lasting distinction.
