TT49, Ancient Egyptian tomb in El-Khokha, Theban Necropolis, Egypt.

The tomb contains a hall connected to a pillared chamber with four columns and features seated statues of Neferhotep and his wife at the rear.

Constructed around 1320 BC during the reign of Pharaoh Eye, TT49 served as the final resting place for Neferhotep, the Chief Scribe of Amun.

The burial complex reflects the social hierarchy of ancient Egypt, with Neferhotep's position as Chief Scribe indicating his elevated status in society.

The tomb remains closed to visitors since the 1980s due to its fragile condition, with conservation efforts led by the University of Buenos Aires.

Recent laser cleaning techniques have uncovered previously hidden details in the tomb's artwork, revealing new information about ancient offerings and ceremonies.
