Tomb of Horemheb (Memphis)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Memphite tomb of Horemheb is located in the Saqqara necropolis, near Memphis, Egypt.[1] It was constructed before Horemheb ascended the phrone, and was never used for his burial. His two wives Mutnedjmet and Amenia were buried within the structure.
The tomb was discovered by art robbers at the beginning of the 19th century. Looted reliefs were acquired by a number of European and American museums. The tomb's location was then lost, it was relocated in 1975 and excavated until 1979.
