His tomb gives a good account of this dualism. The layout of the tomb is conventional, but its dimensions and exquisite engravings make this monument a jewel of the 18th dynasty art.REKHMIRE - TT 100Illustrated here by more than 600 images, the tomb is of an exceptional quality and is historically important, particularly by its texts, which explain the various functions and responsibilities of the vizier, as well as his duties. It also features magnificent scenes of tributes from foreign peoples and an almost complete version of the mouth-opening ritual.MAYA AND MERYT - SAQQARAMaya, Overseer of the Treasury from Tutankhamun to Horemheb, was a very elite person. He chose to be buried, along with his wife Meryt, at Saqqara, in a splendid chapel-tomb, the only one from the New Kingdom to be decorated in its subterranean part. This part is fairly well preserved, while the superstructure has been largely damaged and plundered. Cyber PROTECTION
