1956 Buried Corridor Deposit Discovered Found Offerings Pharaoh Pottery Professor Reign Sakkara Tomb Vault

EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the awe-inspiring sight of Queen Her-net's tomb, discovered in 1956 by the esteemed archaeologist Professor Emery at North Sakkara. Buried during the reign of Pharaoh Udjahorresnet, this tomb, often referred to as the 'Great Tomb of Queen Her-net,' dates back to the 21st Dynasty of Ancient Egypt, around 1085-1040 BCE. The image showcases the east corridor of the vault, where a deposit of pottery offerings was found. The pottery, left as part of the burial goods, adds historical significance to the tomb and provides valuable insights into the cultural practices of the time. The intricately designed vessels, some adorned with elaborate decorations, are a testament to the craftsmanship and artistic prowess of the ancient Egyptians. Queen Her-net, whose name translates to 'Beloved of Thoth,' was likely a high-ranking royal wife or consort. The discovery of her tomb, filled with such treasures, offers a glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of the Egyptian court during the late New Kingdom period. The tomb's well-preserved state and the abundance of artifacts found within have contributed significantly to our understanding of Ancient Egyptian history and culture. This photograph, taken in July 1956, stands as a reminder of the rich heritage and historical importance of Egypt's ancient past. The tomb of Queen Her-net continues to captivate scholars and visitors alike, inspiring awe and wonder at the mysteries of the ancient world.
