The New Kingdom Tombs from Saqqara Compiled by Anneke Bart
Memphis (Mennefer) has always been an important city in Ancient Egypt. The necropolis at Saqqara dates back to early dynastic times. In recent decades many areas of the necropolis have been excavated yielding many new insights into the history of Egypt. At the presents Saqqara is being investigated by many different teams. • The University of Leiden: lead by M. Raven and R van Walsem are excavating New Kingdom tombs located to the south of the pyramid of Unas and to the east of the step pyramid of Sekhemkhet. • The French archeologists from the Institute Francais d'Archeologie Orientale (IFAO), lead by A. Zivie, are excavating Old Kingdom tombs to the north-east of the Leiden team. They are also active at the Bubasteion. This team has also discovered some New Kingdom tombs. • The Scottish team of the Saqqara Geophysical Survey Project are excavating in the northern part of the necropolis. Under the direction of I. Matthieson, they have discovered an ancient Egyptian city which housed the workmen who built the pyramids at Saqqara. • The Japanesse mission from the University of Waseda and Tokai are excavating a New Kingdom necropolis at Dashur, which is part of the greater Saqqara area. Below is a list of New Kingdom tombs. Some of the tombs have been located and excavated, while others are known to exist because objects or reliefs from the tomb have been found. The tombs are listed alphabetically. List of Tombs from the 18th Dynasty Alphabetically

Ptahmai is only given the title Wab Priest of Ptah but the double gold necklaces he wears could suggest perhaps a earlier military career in which he must have served with distinction but intriguingly has chosen not to mention it (this suggestion and the identification of the family etc is made by Dr. Hannelore Kischkewitz) [text by Sesen; for more information and more images see Gitta Warnemunde's page] The statue is apparently donated by the daughter Henut-demui. Her sister Inuihaj is depicted as higher ranking according to her position as a lady of the King's Harem. On the back Ptahmai stands before his father Ini, a royal scribe and his mother.
