The Tomb of Nyankhnesut (Re)Dis Covered

Abstract

A brief account with plan of the recently identified mastaba of Nyankhnesut, an official of the Sixth Dynasty, which stands at the foot of the north-west corner of the enclosure of Sekhemkhet at Saqqara. Many of its reliefs are already in museums, particularly in the U.S.A., and little decoration survives in the tomb. The inscriptions show that the owner's many titles included that of ‘Greatest of seers of Heliopolis’.
