el-Khokha ( Western Thebes )
|
Area in the Theban necropolis
(25o44'N, 32o36'E). The site is named after a modern
village and is located between the Asasif in
the north and east and Sheikh Abd el-Qurna in
the west. The exact meaning of the name Khokha is unclear, although
it has been translated as peach
or vault.
In Egyptian Arabic , the term is used to describe an
opening in a wall,
a gate,
or a wicket
gate,
possibly referring to the entrances of the local rock-cut tombs. The
private tombs of the Old Kingdom and the First Intermediate Period and
several tombs of the XVIII and XIX dynasties were investigated by Egyptian,
British, German and Hungarian expeditions. The unique tomb of the
chief steward Amenemhat, also called Surer (TT48), was one of the largest
and most important private tombs of the New Kingdom. The inner, rock-cut
part of the tomb extends for almost 60 meters into the rock, its four main
rooms contain seventy columns and pillars to support the ceiling. |
