Tomb of Menna Project (TT69)
About the Project
The tomb of Menna (Theban Tomb 69) is one of the finest painted, non-royal Egyptian tombs open to the public today. Its decoration represents the height of ancient Egyptian painting, a visual textbook of what the Egyptians could do in that medium. Over the next two years, the Tomb of Menna Project will study, document and conserve the tomb using a number of new technologies in the field of Egyptology. The goal of the Tomb of Menna Project is to join traditional methods of visual analysis with new scientific methods to preserve and record this exceptional tomb for future generations.
