Amarna Tomb 5, Ancient rock tomb in Amarna, Egypt.

The tomb features detailed wall carvings depicting Penthu receiving rewards at the palace and scenes of the royal family entering the temple.

Built during the 18th Dynasty, this T-shaped tomb belonged to Penthu, who served as Chief of Physicians under Pharaoh Akhenaten's reign.

The north wall displays Akhenaten and Nefertiti with three daughters approaching the temple, reflecting royal family customs of ancient Egypt.

The burial chamber follows a standard T-shaped layout with an inner section designated for the final resting place of the nobleman.

The south wall contains a rare dining scene where Akhenaten wears a khat headdress while eating fowl and Nefertiti drinks from a cup.
