Hill of Qurnet Murai - Tomb of Huy

One tomb which is worth a visit, however, is No. 40, the Tomb of Huy (Amenhotep), Governor of Ethiopia (Nubia) in the reign of Tutankhamun.

Entrance wall: to right, Huy being ceremonially installed as Governor in the presence of the King and receiving the congratulations of his relatives and officials; to the left, Huy and his relatives with two richly decorated Nile boats in front of them, and beyond this Huy as Governor, with five rows of people bringing tribute. Left hand end wall: the dead man making offeringsto the dog headed Anubis (left) and Osiris (right). Rear wall: the Governor, with the fan and crook which are the emblems of his dignity, and three rows of Nubian chiefs; behind him the tribute they have brought, including a Nubian landscape (in the center a conical hut, flanked by doum palms, giraffes and Negroes) standing on a table covered with panther skins and fabrics; above, bowls of precious stones, gold rings, sacks of gold dust, gilded shields covered with colored skins, chairs, ebony benches, a chariot, etc.; the Nubian chiefs, almost all dressed in the Egyptian fashion, being received by Huy and his brother Amenhotep.
