Amarna Tomb 7, Ancient Egyptian tomb in Amarna, Egypt.

The rectangular burial chamber of Tomb 7 contains wall paintings that showcase ceremonies and everyday activities from the 18th Dynasty period.

During Akhenaten's reign in the 18th Dynasty, this tomb became part of the new capital city designed for the worship of Aten.

The tomb's inscriptions and artifacts demonstrate the shift from traditional Egyptian religious practices to the monotheistic worship of the sun disk.

The archaeological site requires sturdy walking shoes and early morning visits to avoid extreme temperatures while exploring the chambers.

Excavations within Tomb 7 revealed multiple burial chambers with specific architectural elements that differ from standard vaulted tomb designs.
