Tomb of Ramosa Facts

Cemetery number= TT55

The tomb of Minister Ramuza is considered one of the largest tombs dug in Jabal Al-Qurna..

The tomb was not used or even the minister buried in it, as it was not completed. The reason is that the minister left the rule of the city of Thebes and went to rule in Tell el-Amarna with King Akhenaten (famous Pharaohs kings) during his religious revolution as in the Ancient Egyptian religion and to indicate the development of Sculpture in Ancient Egypt.

The tomb was exposed to theft and vandalism, especially the engravings on the walls and the excavations, by the Ancient Egyptian Grave Robbers in the era of King Horemheb.

The reason is that King Horemheb wanted revenge on everyone related to King Akhenaten..

The wall engravings combine the era of King Amenhotep III and the era of King Akhenaten, as the colors and general taste differ from the culture of worshipping the God Amun and the God Aton, the most famous Egyptian deities – Ancient Egyptian gods and Goddesses, as were the ancient beliefs of the Pharaohs and the texts in the Ancient Egyptian Language.

What is the function of Ra-Muza in ancient Egypt?

Ra-Musa, also known as Ramesse or Ramuza, was the ruler of the city of Thebes for a long time, in addition to working as a minister in the government of ancient Egypt during the reign of King Amenhotep III and King Amenhotep IV “Akhenaten”.“

In addition to an engraving of the minister Ra Moza with relatives and family in a state of celebration and gatherings in the form of 4 groups..

There is an engraving of the stages of burial of the deceased in the era of King Akhenaten on the southern wall, where a group of men and women were drawn in great sadness carrying papyrus flowers and funerary furniture, as was followed in the Pharaonic civilization to indicate the development of Architecture in ancient Egypt.

At the top of the wall you will see a Pharaonic engraving of how the Pharaonic Ancient Egyptian Coffins was placed inside the cabin on a small sea boat, in addition to containing the mummification tools for the Mummy of the Pharaohs, indicating the development of Medicine in ancient Egypt and the science of Mummification in ancient Egypt.

Moving forward you will see a carving of the vizier Ra-Muza with his wife in a state of worship to the God Osiris, then a carving of the vizier standing in front of King Akhenaten and behind him the god Maat, the symbol of Law in Ancient Egypt, and under the king’s throne are texts in the ancient Egyptian language of what are called the peoples of the nine bows..

On the right wall you will see a carving of the minister Ra-Moza with his wife and a group of people carrying offerings, then a carving of 3 girls carrying chains, then a carving of the process of purifying the deceased by the temple priests..

Moving forward a little, you will see an engraving of a group of temple priests carrying offerings in front of the minister Ra-Moza and his wife, and King Amenhotep IV and his wife, Queen Nefertiti, the most famous queen of Pharaonic Egypt “Female Pharaohs“.

There is a distinctive pharaonic inscription in the ancient tomb of Ramesse of the minister receiving a group of foreign delegations and statesmen, in addition to another inscription of King Akhenaten and his wife Queen Nefertiti in a state of worship under the sun..

At the end of the hall you will find an unfinished display of a group of girls offering congratulations to the minister in red and black, as in the Pharaonic holidays “Festivals in Ancient Egypt“.
