Tomb of the Nubian King Tantamani

Tomb of the Nubian King Tantamani

Quote:

Our time is almost up and our two hour visit inside these two ancient tombs has come to an end. Uncle Ali waits patiently outside the gate of the Tomb of the Nubian King Tantamani (Tawentamani) at el-Kurru, which was originally excavated beneath the pyramids that are now partially collapsed. This tomb is completely decorated with amazing images of the Pharaoh , of the gods and multi-color hieroglyphic inscriptions. It has been such an honor and a privilege to see these amazing ancient burial chambers with my own eyes and have the opportunity to document them in such a way. -Robbie Shone
