Egypt Hotels
Higher up are Nos. 2 and 2B, the Tombs of Khonsu and Khabekhnet, sons of Sennutem (No. 1). In No. 2B a steep flight of steps leads down to the chamber, on the left hand wall of which is a curious scene showing Anubis at the bier of Osiris, who is represented as a fish. No. 2 is of no interest. To the north is No. 250, the Tomb of Neforhotep and his wife Mutemuia (Ramessid period), with well preserved paintings. Right hand wall: the dead man with his wife and family praying before the Hathor cow, which is emerging from the rocks. Rear wall: above, right, the dead man praying to Osiris; left, his wife praying to Amenophis I; below, funeral procession and offerings to the mummies at the tomb.
