ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on 'lost tombs', which have to all intents and purposes disappeared today but about which a substantial amount of information can be gathered from the largely unpublished manuscripts of the early travellers. These tombs form the majority of those listed in the Topographical Bibliography, where bibliographical references are given for individual scenes. Objects such as funerary cones, stamped bricks, ushabtis &c. are included in the discussion, and monuments cited in various volumes of the Topographical Bibliography are brought together under the names of the individual owner. The chapter concerns several tombs, which includes New Kingdom tombs, and Ramessid. In 1906 Chassinat found a cone belonging to a counter of grain, overseer of the granary of Amun, Amenemheb near a tomb of certain at Dra Abu el-Naga. Single women nursing royal infants are occasionally depicted in Eighteenth dynasty tombs. Judging from Wilkinson's sketch, the tomb appears to be of the Eighteenth dynasty.
