ABSTRACT
The king's sacred barques are seen taking part in a festival, and drawn on a sledge to Amenophis I mortuary temple. The tomb consisted of a transverse offering-hall, a corridor, and an inner chapel with a burial-tunnel opening out of it on the left side. Penehsi tomb is situated just south of the rest-house of the Deparment of Antiquities at Dira 'Abu el-Naga. Besenmut's tomb was a Saite appropriation of part of the courtyard of the tomb of Bekenkhons. Later, in the time of Ramses IX, others did unto Roy as he had done unto Nakht, and re-used his tomb, breaking out a new tunnel which destroyed his statue niche, and making a large forecourt in front of his. Roy was an important official of the end of the XVIIIth or beginning of the XIXth Dynasty, having been Royal Scribe and Steward in the Estate of Haremhab and that of Amun.
