Tomb of Rekhmire (TT 100)
While it may be non-royal, the tomb of Rekhmire (TT 100) is one of the most interesting on theWest Bank atLuxor (ancientThebes). Located on the southeastern slope of the Sheikh Abd el-Qurna hill, it is one of the largest of the private tombs.
Rekhmire was avizier, the highest ranking official under the pharaohsTuthmosis III andAmenophis II during a period when Egypt's empire stretched to its farthest extent and was at the peek of her prosperity. We find that his great grandfather and grandfather also were also viziers. He was responsible for the area of Egypt extending fromAswan north toAssiut. In addition, he was also the mayor of Thebes and the Steward of theTemple of Amun at theKarnak Complex. Theexplanation of his duties as a vizier found within his tomb is one of the most important administrative texts of the New Kingdom. Except for a brief mention on an ostracon and papyrus, all that we know of Rekhmire comes from his tomb.
