Heritage Key
With several slide shows.
A video featuring Dr Farouk Gomaa was recently featured on Heritage Key as he explains his progress on archaeological excavations being carried out in el-Assasif, Thebes at the site of TT34 - the Tomb of Montuemhat. Dr Farouk Gomaa explains that the search in the tomb continues for the burial chamber of the diplomat Montuemhat, which has yet to be located. The mysteries of Thebes are uncovered in a new book featuring photography from the renown Egyptology photographer Sandro Vannini in the publication "The Lost Tombs of Thebes: Life in Paradise" authored by Dr Zahi Hawass.
The excavations at TT34 were photographed by Sandro as the archaeological team set about documenting the finds and detailing the tomb walls. The search for the sarcophagus of Montuemhat continues, as Dr Gomaa's team progress deeper into the tomb.
