TT96, Ancient tomb at Sheikh Abd el-Qurna necropolis, Egypt
The TT96 tomb contains multiple chambers decorated with wall paintings depicting agricultural activities, religious practices, and daily life scenes in the afterlife.
During the 18th Dynasty of the New Kingdom, Governor Sennefer and his wife Meryt commissioned this tomb under the reign of Pharaoh Amenhotep II.
The walls feature detailed paintings of funeral processions, rituals, and ceremonies, showing Sennefer and Meryt performing worship acts for Osiris and Anubis.
Visitors enter the tomb through a steep tunnel that leads to a small chamber, followed by the main burial chamber with jackal motifs at its doorway.
The ceiling displays hieroglyphs in three lines, while pillars show Meryt presenting myrrh and lotus flowers to her husband Sennefer.
