The Discovery of an Unusual Saff Tomb at Draa Abu El-Naga in Thebes

A rare and unique Saff tomb, designated NTTMP 91 (2014/2015), was discovered in the Theban necropolis during the demolition of houses at Qurna. This tomb stands out due to its distinctive architectural features, including a second elongated passage and a cult chamber, elements not previously documented in other Saff tombs. The discovery highlights the significance of the New Theban Tombs Mapping Project (NTTMP), which the author supervised, in uncovering and cataloging such unique archaeological finds. Comparative case studies from other Theban tombs (TT81, TT155, TT232, and -150-) were used to contextualize this exceptional find.
