TT2

Also known as Tomb of Khabekhnet

Theban Tomb TT2 is the burial place of the ancient Egyptian official Khabekhnet and his family in Deir el-Medina, part of the Theban Necropolis, on the west bank of the Nile, opposite to Luxor. The two adjoining tomb-chapels were intended for Khabekhnet and his brother Khonsu; Khonsu was ultimately buried nearby in their parents funerary complex, TT1, possibly due to unstable rock in the tomb below his chapel. Only the southern chapel was decorated, and only the subterranean rooms of the northern chapel, TT2B, were decorated. The chapel's relief decoration is shared equally between Khabekhnet
