Djehuty; Djehutyemheb; TT45; TT 45; Theban tomb; Luxor; Gurnah; tomb of Egypt (1)
From those lovely people at Osirisnet
The tomb TT45 was carved at Sheikh Abd el-Gurnah during the period of
Amenhotep II for Djehuty, an official of modest rank. Djehutyemheb
“recuperated” for his personal usage the funerary monument around two centuries
later. Since there were no family ties unifying these two individuals, one may
suppose that, besides their names being related to the god Thot, it is their
role as responsible of the linen in the temple of Amun that provides the reason
for the re-usage of the tomb. Djehutyemheb demonstrates great restraint and
respect towards the previous decorations featured in the tomb of Djehuty. The
result is a mixed style between the early 18th dynasty and the Ramesside
period.

Our new/old chef is back for the winter season
The great thing about him is that he understands tourists don’t always want 15 tagens of hot food, but they like lite food, salads, light lunches etc. Of course he can cook all the normal stuff as well.
Mahmoud has snapped him up and he will be working for us again. These are just some of his meals.
