THE TETI CEMETERY AT SAQQARA Vol II: The Tomb of Ankhmahor

The mastaba of Ankhmahor, a vizier of Teti (Dynasty 6) is among the most important monuments at Saqqara. It has been published earlier, but in an incomplete form. The present volume represents a record of the chapels and burial chambers of Ankhmahor and his son Ishfi, based on new photographs, architectural plans and facsimile drawings of its scenes and inscriptions. This tomb has certainly influenced others not only in the capital, but also in the provinces.
The text includes an analysis of the scenes and inscriptions and a comparison with other contemporary monuments.
