THE TETI CEMETERY AT SAQQARA

Vol VI: The Tomb of Nikauisesi

Naguib Kanawati and Mahmud Abder-Raziq

The tomb of Nikauisesi was discovered in 1979 but has never been published. Formed of five rooms and an open court with stairs leading to the roof, the chapel is decorated with important scene and inscriptions in painted relief. The examination of these inscriptions together with the human remains of Nikauisesi, raises many questions concerning the chronology of the transitional period between Dynasties 5 and 6. The volume contains a complete record of the architecture, scenes, inscriptions, objects and human remains found in the tomb.

Naguib Kanawati Professor of Egyptology is Director of The Australian Centre for Egyptology, Macquarie University.
Mahmud Abder-Raziq is Professor at the University of Suez Canal, Egypt.
