TT6, Ancient tomb in Deir el-Medina, Egypt.

The burial chambers of TT6 contain multiple connected rooms carved into rock with decorated walls displaying Egyptian art and hieroglyphic inscriptions.

Neferhotep and Nebnefer, who served as Chief Workmen in the Place of Truth during the late 18th and early 19th Dynasty, received this tomb.

The tomb walls present numerous scenes depicting family members making offerings to deities, playing games, and participating in religious ceremonies.

Visitors can reach TT6 by taking transportation from Luxor to the west bank and combining their visit with other monuments in Deir el-Medina.

The ceiling features parallel inscriptions dedicated equally to both Neferhotep and Nebnefer with their wives, reflecting dual ownership of the tomb.
