The Tomb of Menna (TT69), Luxor

Explore some of Egypt's most unique heritage sites from the comfort of your home.

The Tomb of Menna is one of the best preserved 18th Dynasty tombs in Skeikh Abd el-Qurna in the Theban necropolis. It was conserved and documented by the American Research Center in Egypt between 2007 and 2009 (read about their project here). Menna was a scribe and an overseer of fields belonging to the pharaoh and the temple of Amun-Re. Its beautiful painted decoration comes to life in this three-dimensional tour of the tomb provided by ARCE and we thoroughly recommend a (virtual) trip!
