Abstract

Abstract Around 1350 BC a wealthy grain accountant in the Temple of Amun, in Karnak, died and a tomb-chapel was constructed to house his mortal remains. Millennia later, in the early 1800s, the then British consul had several sections of the lavish wall paintings removed from the tomb and exhibited in the British Museum in London. Early this year a new gallery housing the newly-conserved wall paintings was opened, allowing visitors a vivid glimpse of the Ancient Egyptian way of life and death.
