Model of the Deir el-Medina house It was Bernard Bruyère who first numbered the houses in the village and drew the plan of a typical Deir el-Medina house. Bruyère was convinced the raised platform in the front room was a ritual bed where the woman gave birth. R. Janssen disagrees since she does not think that such a private action would be undertaken in the first room where any stranger could walk in from the street. Could it be an altar instead? The dispute remains unresolved. - the niche in the wall of the reception room used for worshipping the ancestors - terrace on the roof for socialising and sleeping during the hot days - open kitchen with the grinding stone and oven Source: webkatalog.sk/egypt/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=17&Itemid=32 Photo copyright Theban Mapping Project
