Dear Friends,
The tomb of Khonsu, TT31, is one of the rare ones
accessible to the public these days. Dating from the time of Ramesses II, it
belongs to a character who was both, priest of Montu and priest of the cult of
Thutmosis III.
The whole family of Khonsu seems to have had functions
linked to Montu, at least since the time of a distant ancestor, Usermontu, a
vizier of the time of Tutankhamun.
Osirisnet has the pleasure to present this tomb with
complete photographic coverage, obtained before the addition of the protective
glass panes, which, if they are necessary, nevertheless considerably reduce the
appreciation of the different scenes and remove a large part of real-life
emotion of the visit to the monument.
Enjoy !
