- Translating The Assassif Tomb Article
Bob Wickland has moved up in my estimation from "good guy" to "all out hero" for re-translating the Italian article about the new tomb found by Francisco Tiradritti near Deir el Bahri, which tied me up in such knots. It took him an age to translate the...

TT 191 - Update
http://www.harwa.it/harwanews/20060303/01.htm
Francesco Tiradritti has put up a page to answer the various queries re the widely reported but misleading "new find” near Deir el Bahri, explaining how the misinformation came to be distributed. Apart for this clarification, the information provided about the site is very welcome: "The Tomb is that of Uahibre-neb-pehty (TT 191: since when did undiscovered tombs have already a number?). We had been required to dismantle the wall blocking the tomb because it opens onto the entrance portico of the Tomb of Harwa which we were excavating. We entered the tomb and subsequently walled it up again the same day. It should be noted that the Tomb of Uahibra-neb-pehty has always been accessible from the courtyard of the Tomb of Kheruef through a break in the wall. The plan of the tomb of Uahibre-neb-pehty can be found in the 1st Edition of Porter and Moss and in the book by Dieter Eigner on the Tombs of the 26th Dynasty. It did not seem to me to be an undiscovered tomb. . . . . I am not really interested in discovering an undiscovered tomb. I am more than satisfied with the task of excavating, studying and recovering the Tomb of Harwa."
