Description
Pictured is the beginning of the south wall of a fresco decorated passageway leading to a shrine with remains of statues of Menna and his wife Henut-Tawy in Theban Tomb No. 69. The entire fresco depicts the funeral procession before the Goddess of the West and Anubis and the weighing of the heart before Osiris. TT69 is in the area known as the Tombs of the Nobles on the West Bank at Luxor in the hills of Sheikh Abd el-Qurna. After construction the face of Menna was destroyed by vandals to deprive him of his afterlife. Menna held the title of Scribe of the Fields of the Lord of the Two Lands of Upper and Lower Egypt and he was the field overseer of Amun in ancient Egypt.
