The Tombs of the Nobles actually comprises a number of distinct areas on the West Bank . They lie in five different regions. an area known as el-Tarif, where large, row tombs were dug during the late Second Intermediate Period and early Middle Kingdom. Just south of el-Tarif is Dra Abu el-Naga, which is a hillside with about 80 tombs most belonging to priests and officials of the 17th through 20th dynasty, including some rulers of the 17th dynasty. southwest of Dra Abu el-Naga is an area called El-Assasif, where there are 40 tombs, mostly from the New Kingdom and later. south of El-Assasif is El-Khokha, a hill with five Old Kingdom tombs and 53 numbered tombs from the 18th and 19th dynasty.
Directly west of El-Khokha is Sheikh Abd el-Qurna with 146 numbered tombs, most of which are from the 18th Dynasty. Here one finds some of the most beautiful private tombs . Egyptologists have only explored and numbered a total of about 800 of them. come with me to explore these recent discoveries |
