TT66, Ancient noble tomb in Sheikh Abd el-Qurna necropolis, Egypt.

The TT66 tomb stands within the eastern section of Sheikh Abd el-Qurna, forming part of the extensive Theban burial grounds along the Nile River.

The tomb represents the architectural practices of the New Kingdom period, when noble families constructed elaborate burial chambers in the Theban mountains.

The interior structure follows traditional Egyptian burial designs with chambers dedicated to offerings, religious ceremonies, and the journey to the afterlife.

Visitors can reach the tomb through the main pathway of Sheikh Abd el-Qurna necropolis, located on the west bank of ancient Thebes.

The tomb preserves numerous wall inscriptions that document the responsibilities and duties of Egyptian officials during the pharaonic administration.
