Tomb of Meryra II, Rock-cut tomb at Amarna cliffs, Egypt
The tomb includes four main sections: an antechamber, a hall of columns, a second hall, and an inner shrine with decorated stone walls.
The tomb belonged to Meryre II, who served as superintendent of Queen Nefertiti and held multiple roles including royal scribe during the 18th Dynasty.
The walls display scenes of the royal family, including Akhenaten and Nefertiti receiving offerings, representing the artistic style of the Amarna period.
Located in the northern group of tombs at Amarna, this burial site remains accessible through guided tours that explain its architectural features.
The tomb contains the final dated appearance of the Amarna royal family in ancient Egyptian art, making it a crucial source for historical research.
