Tomb of Kheruef now listed on OsirisNet

OsirisNet

Thanks to Thierry Benderitter and Jon Hirst for making full details of the tomb of Kheruef, TT192, available on OsirisNet, with 170 photos and drawings.

The tomb of the steward of the Great Royal Wife Tiy had initially been designed to be immense. The decoration is particularly beautiful,

The tomb is located at the pivotal point between the reign of Amenhotep III and that of his son Amenhotep IV (Akhenaten) and is of great historic importance.

A special page is dedicated to a numerical assessment of the work required.
