Another 18th Dynasty tomb has been discovered by archaeologists from the American Research Center in Egypt at Al-Qurna in Luxor. Paintings on the walls of this New Kingdom (1550-1070 B.C.) tomb "are records of daily life practices that prevailed in that era," according to a statement made by Antiquities Minister Mamdouh al-Damaty. This tomb, which belonged to Satmut and his wife Ta-kh-at, was also looted in antiquity, and some of the scenes and inscriptions on its walls were erased. "The newly discovered tomb is located to the east of TT110 and they share the same courtyard. The tomb door is to the south of the first tomb and it has an oblong hall with a shaft filled with debris," team member Ali El Henawi told the Luxor Times. To read about the recent discovery of a tomb in the area belonging to a sacred singer, see "Tomb of the Chantress."

Whoops, the link on the topic is wrong, managed to plaster in the graphic URL instead; but the link behind the graphic itself goes to the correct place.

That’s “photo shopping” circa 1800 BC...

Clearly either they didn’t want the person who was the cupbearer to have a place in the afterlife; or else they didn’t want the couple to have their servants (some of the faces on the wall at the left are also erased).

What was there that they wanted no one to see?

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

He kind of asked for it.

"Three things do the slaves require, work, food and their gods and of the three their gods must not be touched or else they become troublesome."

[Salamander]

I’ve often wondered if he hadn’t had a premonition that there really was only one true god...even if he mixed up sun with son.
