Abstract
The tombs of Amennakht, Nebenmaât and Khâmeter (TT 218-220), three craftsmen who lived under the reign of Sethi I and Ramesses II, form a unique familial complex in Deir el-Medina and in the Theban necropolis. This set is distinguished by its architecture as well as by the decoration of its underground funerary chambers.The edition of these tombs includes archaeological records, description of the scenes, translation of the texts, commentaries and synthesis. The comparison of the religious content of images and texts with contemporary funeral literature, in particular the Book of the Dead and Amduat, reveals its originality.Nebenmaat and Khaemter have opted for the monochrome paintings of their burial chambers, decorated with yellow figures on a white background. Nebenmaat has created original scenes, which comprise some gods with unexpected looks, as Osiris with ibis head. As for Khaemter, he is assimilated to Osiris in an unusual way when he appropriates his attributes and his appearance.Amennakht has decorated its two burial chambers with polychrome figures on a yellow background. His first chamber is characterised by an original and specific thought and its “made-to-measure” feature. Entirely dedicated to Re, this chamber prefigures the Saite tombs.
