Luxor, Egypt: Tombs of the Nobles


Khaemhat was a royal scribe and inspector of granaries living around 1400 BCE, acting during the reign of Amenophis 3.
His tomb used a forecourt that was also used by two other tombs.
There are fewer impressive wall paintings here than in the other open tombs, but some nice ones can be found in the transverse antechamber. What still makes this a very interesting tomb to visit are the statues, most with heads. In the antechamber is the only divine statue, Imhotep, who is positioned next to Khaemhat.
In the burial chamber are 4 niches containing statues of Khaemhat and his family.
