Mereruka and His Family. Part 4 Mereruka's Chapel, Room 13 and the Burial Apartment Synopsis

This is the last volume reporting on the unusually rich tomb of Mereruka and his family. The pillared hall, A13, is the largest room in the chapel, containing many interesting themes, including the funerary procession, the voyage to the south, the transportation by a palanquin, the harvesting of grain and the pulling of papyrus ceremony. Mereruka's burial chamber is the most majestic and best preserved among those of private individuals of the Old Kingdom. Includes 50 folded line drawings.
