TT52

The T-shaped tomb structure contains two chambers decorated with painted scenes depicting agricultural activities, hunting, and family gatherings on its limestone walls.

Constructed during the reign of Thutmose IV around 1400 BC, TT52 served as the final resting place for Nakht, a scribe and astronomer.

The inner chambers feature detailed illustrations of offerings to Ra and agricultural scenes, reflecting Egyptian beliefs about sustenance in the afterlife.

Visitors need to coordinate with local authorities for access to the tomb, which now includes protective barriers to preserve the ancient paintings.

Norman de Garis Davies documented the tomb's artifacts in 1915, including a statue that was lost during transportation due to a U-boat attack.
