Nefersekheru TT107 – Royal Scribe in the Palace at Malqata, Steward of the Estate of Amenhotep III Palace – Khokha/Sheik Abd el-Qurna – 18th Dynasty - Reign of Merenptah. Nefersekheru probably worked in the royal palace at Malqata. His father’s name was Neby, a judge, and his mother was Hepu. His tomb can be found at Khokha/Sheikh ‘Abd el-Qurna, north of most of the other tombs in the area. Only the portico with its three remaining columns is accessible today as the main part of the tomb and is filled with debris, but Nefersekheru’s names and titles can be seen on one of the columns. On the north wall to the right of the tomb entrance there is an offering list, which denotes the offerings to be given at the Festival of New Year. Other scenes on this part of the wall were left unfinished. Further along the wall, two scenes depict statues of the deceased Nefersekheru being purified by a priest, while other officials look on. The names of the deceased’s parents are given here. On the right-hand side of the outer lintel in the entrance passage to the tomb, Nefersekheru kneels before Osiris, with the text from a ‘Hymn to Osiris’. I believe that the Mummy is still inside the tomb. These tombs are not open to the public.
