TT359, Ancient Egyptian tomb in Deir el-Medina, Egypt

The burial site TT359 contains two main chambers decorated with detailed paintings depicting scenes from the Book of Gates and Book of the Dead.

During the 20th Dynasty, TT359 served as the burial place for Inherkhau, who worked as Foreman of the Lord of the Two Lands under Ramesses III.

The tomb paintings portray family offering scenes, including Inherkhau, his wife Wab, and their son Kenna, reflecting Egyptian burial customs and religious practices.

Located on the west bank of the Nile opposite Luxor, the tomb opens daily from 6 AM to 4 PM during winter with an entrance fee of 30 EGP.

The tomb features a king list depicting various Egyptian rulers, including Amenhotep I, Ahmose I, Ahhotep I, and Ramesses IV on its decorated walls.
