In 2018, researchers found several sarcophagi and mummies in the El-Assasif necropolis in the ancient city of Thebes Luxor in tomb, TT28, dating to the Ramesside Period. While archaeologists have known this tomb existed, most of it has never been scientifically excavated. Archaeologists spent five months clearing some 300 metres (984 feet) of debris before they could access TT28
Hieroglyphs on one of the sarcophagi indicate that it belongs to Thaw InkhetIf, who was the overseer of the mummification process at the temple of the goddess Mut, the World Mother.
Studies[]
Thaw InkhetIf's mummy is well preserved. Thaw Inkhetif's tomb was elaborate, with a mural in bright colors painted on the ceiling, five masks and around 1,000 ushabti figurines, small statuettes buried with important people to serve them in the afterlife.
