Tomb 5, of Ahmes son of Abana, at el-Kab now on Osirisnet

Osirisnet


Update:  Apologies for the incorrect title on the original post, and for Thierry for pointing it out!

Thanks to Thierry Benderitter for letting me know that Osirisnet has been updated with yet another excellent in-depth analysis.

Tomb N°5 of el-Kab was created by the nomarch Paheri for his maternal grandfather, Ahmose, son of Abana. It includes a famous historic autobiography of this great soldier and sailor, which has been the object of numerous studies. This is because it is one of the only documents relating the expulsion of the Hyksos from Egypt and the military campaigns of the first sovereigns of the XVIIIth Dynasty.
But the rest of the monument has never been the object of publication to this day.  This is why it seemed interesting to us to present on OsirisNet the entire chapel.
