Nebemakhet

Fue enterrado en la tumba G 8172 (=LG 86) después de que su tumba original (LG 12) fuera abandonada. La tumba se encuentra en el Campo Central , que forma parte de la Necrópolis de Giza . ^{[ 3 ]} La tumba estaba en un estado de gran calidad cuando Nebemakhet murió. Las paredes estaban talladas en relieve y pintadas con colores brillantes. La tumba consta de dos capillas decoradas y varios pozos. La entrada principal conduce a la capilla exterior, que contenía varios nichos y un pozo en la esquina noroeste. Una puerta conduce a otra sala que contiene varios nichos más y una capilla interior. Esta segunda sala contenía dos pozos funerarios más. ^{[ 2 ]}

The outer chapel shows Nebemakhet and his sister Shepsetkau viewing some agricultural scenes on the south wall. Parts of scenes depicting the capturing of birds in nets can still be seen. The western wall shows Nebemakhet in a papyrus boat in the marshes with a fish-spear in his hand. The scene is largely destroyed because (in antiquity) a large niche was cut in the wall. Remaining scenes show people carrying fish, birds and other animals. One register shows the construction of a papyrus canoe and then a scene of cattle crossing a river. The wall contains a depiction of a line of offer bearers bringing property from the estates of Khafre.^[2]

In the doorway to the inner chapel a scene is preserved showing the sculptor Semerka and his colleague Inkaf. These two men were responsible for some of the work in the tomb. The inscription reads: "His Rewarded One, who inscribed for him this, his tomb, the Sculptor Semerka. His Rewarded One, who made for him this, his tomb, with the work [..] In-ka-f".^[2]

In the inner room Nebemakhet and his sister Shepsetkau appear before their mother: "His Mother, She Who Sees Horus and Set, The Great Ornament, the Great Favourite (or Praised), the King's Wife Meresankh". Nearby Nebemakhet is depicted in a scene with his sister and this time they are accompanied by their brother Duaenre. Nubhotep, Nebemakhet's wife, is also depicted in the inner chapel. She has the titles royal acquaintance, Priestess of Hathor, Mistress of the Sycamore in all her places, Honored by the god. Further scenes in the inner chapel show scenes from daily life including craft shops and metalwork.^[2]

Tomb LG 12 is a tomb in the Quarry Cemetery West of Second Pyramid. This tomb is sometimes referred to as the "Tomb of Palm-tree Beams".^[4] The doorway on the east wall leads to a large hall. The roof is carved to resemble logs of wood.^[5]
