List of Theban tombs

The Theban Necropolis is located on the west bank of the Nile, opposite Luxor, in Egypt.

There are other tombs whose position has been lost, or for some other reason do not conform to this classification.

During the New Kingdom they were inscribed with the title and name of the tomb owner, sometimes with short prayers.

[1] The numbering system was first published Arthur Weigall's 1908 Report on the Tombs of Shêkh Abd’ el Gûrneh and el Assasîf (up to TT 45–100)[2][3] and then more fully in Alan Gardiner and Arthur Weigall's 1913 A Topographical Catalogue of the Private Tombs of Thebes (TT 1–252).

[4] This was followed by Reginald Engelbach's A Supplement to the Topographical Catalogue of the Private Tombs of Thebes (TT 253 to 334), extended further in Bernard Bruyère,[5] N. de Garis Davies,[6] Ahmed Fakhry,[7] and later in Bertha Porter's Topographical Bibliography of Ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphic Texts, Reliefs, and Paintings.
