This is the entrance
to the tomb of Menna.
It is a very simple tomb
but one step inside
and the colour
just hits you. |
 |
|
Literally just through the door and this is the view that you see. |
 |
|
Close up of the view above. We always think of Liberty of London when we see this. |
 |
|
The transverse corridors are only short but very detailed. This is the corridor to the right. |
 |
|
This is the left corridor which makes the tomb the typical inverted "T" design of the period. |
 |
|
Close up detail of Menna and his wife, Henuttawy, before Osiris. |
 |
|
The bountiful harvest is depicted here well under way. |
