TT40, Noble tomb in Qurnet Murai, Egypt.
The ancient Egyptian tomb TT40 features multiple chambers connected by a long corridor with walls covered in detailed painted reliefs and inscriptions.
During the 18th Dynasty, Amenhotep called Huy served as Viceroy of Kush under Tutankhamun and commissioned this tomb for his eternal rest.
The tomb walls display scenes of Nubian delegations bringing tributes, demonstrating the relationship between Egypt and its southern neighbors during ancient times.
Located on the west bank of the Nile opposite Luxor, TT40 requires advance planning and coordination with local authorities for visitation.
The burial chamber contains information about a temple called 'Satisfying the Gods' in Nubia, where Huy's wife Taemwadjsy served as Chief of the Harem.
