Dear friends,
We present to you today the tomb of Amenemope,
TT148, which dates from the 20th Dynasty.
Amenemope was Third Prophet of Amon, descended
from a powerful family of which many representatives are mentioned in the
chapel. The monument is on the north hillside of Dra Abu el-Naga, an area of
which the prestige and the direct view of the pylons of Karnak, compensated for
the poor quality of the local rock, which along with the prolonged occupation,
caused serious damage to the decoration. What has survived is of a great
artistic quality and allows the previous splendour of this tomb-temple to be
realised
