New tombs to visit - Amenemope ; Amenemopet ; TT 148 ; TT148 ; Thebes, Luxor ; Dra abu el-Naga ; tomb Egypt (1 of 6)

The Antiquities department recent opened two tombs on the Theban necropolis. TT148 is added to the Roy and Shu Roy ticket which costs 20Le. There is a very full description on the Osirisnet website and you can also get the recent Australian publication. A friend has just visited these and said although it was badly damaged it was worth the visit, the statues are huge.

I have some previous lecture notes http://luxor-news.blogspot.com/2010/09/old-mummification-museum-lecture-tt148.html 



Amenemope ; Amenemopet ; TT 148 ; TT148 ; Thebes, Luxor ; Dra abu el-Naga ; tomb Egypt (1 of 6): The publication (in English) of tomb TT148, of Amenemope, under the direction of the Prof. Boyo G. OCKINGA, was created under auspices of the Australian Centre for Egyptology, by the Macquarie university and is published by Aris and Phillips Ltd. It represents N°27 (Volume 1) of a set of publications.
The publication includes 149 pages, to which are added 109 plates of drawings and photos, of which 55 are in colour.

This presentation is based on this work, with the authorisation of Prof. Ockinga, whom we thank even more in that he also provided most of the photographs which illustrate these pages.

People who would wish in to know more about this monument can order the complete publication from several specialist bookstores, such as Antinoë, Cybèle or Archeobooks (note: readers of OsirisNet benefit on this site to a discount of 10% on all works; see website for details .............).

You will thus help the Australian egyptological research.
