Sheikh Abd el-Qurna ( Western Thebes )
|
The main private cementary in
the center of the Theban necropolis (25o44'N, 32o36'E).
The term Qurna seems to be a derivation of of
el-Qurn (the peak),
which may refer to the mountain that is 482 meters above sea level,
overlooking the Theban necropolis. Qurna is the central part of the New
Kingdom private necropolis in Thebes. It consists of the hill proper and
the plain east of it, which is defined as the area southwest of
Khokha and north of the mortuary temple of Ramesses II (the Ramesseum). In
the hillside and the plain, there are far more then 150 decorated tombs,
more than half of which date to the XVIIIth dynasty, other
dated XIXth and early XXth dynasty or to the Saite
period (XXVI Dynasty). The most important tombs are: TT100 - Rekhmire,
TT96 Sennefer, TT52 - Nakht, TT69 - Menna, TT55 - Ramose, and other. |
