The next couple of days will feature the rock cut tombs from El Kab, ancient Nekhen, the main centre of the third nome. Paheri was the grandson of Ahmose ("Son of Ibana"), whose tomb is also at El Kab. His titles indicate that he was the local governor. For excellent descriptions of the El Kab tombs, see the El Kab section on the Osirisnet website. The scenes in the tomb are lovely.
