Hamaroby's Tomb by Robby
|
Hamaroby is buried in the Valley
of the Kings in the tomb next to King Tut. Hamaroby was a great
ruler. He took care of his wife and son. He liked hunting with
a knife or a bow and arrow. He would kill a leopard and he would
invite all his servants to eat with his family. After they were
done eating the king himself would cut off the leopard's skin.
He had one of his servants make a robe out of the skin. The king
gave the robe to his son, Hamaroby II, and told him it was from
the God, Thoth. Three years later the king died and his son took
over and became one of the greatest Pharoahs like Ramses II.
Thirty years later, Hamaroby II died and the robe was buried
with him and he became a God.
The Things in the Tomb
There are four canopic
jars for the stomach, liver, lungs, and intestines. There is
a basket of apples, jewelry, cologne, wine bottles, clothing
and his stuffed pet bird that represents Thoth, God of Wisdom. |

The Tomb of Neveriza by Liza
|
My Egyptian person is named
Neveriza. She was the daughter of a Pharaoh whose name was Nikwe.
Neveriza was a high priestess in the temple of Isis. She trained
the temple celebrants. She had two brothers. The older one inherited
the throne, his name was Tutanwe.
The Things In The Tomb
Neveriza got to design
her own tomb. On one side she put three of the grandsons of Isis,
the sons of Horus: Qebsenuef, Imseti and Hapi. There were four
sons but she didn't like the fourth very much, who knows why,
and did not want his image on the wall (She did use all four
sons of Horus, as her canopic jars.) Beside the three gods she
had artists record a story about the Goddesss Isis and her four
grandchildren. On another wall she depicted her two brothers
along with herself and their fater. On the third side she recorded
her father's funeral celebration. On the last side she depicted
the mourners, whom she had trained, celebrating her mother's
funeral.
In her tomb she put two canisters
of sacred oil, her leopard throne, two shelves that stored her
sacred objects as a priestess, a boat to carry her to the afterlife
and a huyge sculpture of a cobra (the cobra is the symbol on
Isis's crown.) |

The Tomb of Tarsemissu by Noni
|
Tarsemissu was an Egyptian woman.
She was a mother of 8 children. Her husband's name was Shysimo.
Taremissu worked for Ramses II. She stored the food surplus.
She lived for 32 years and died a natural death.
The Things In The Tomb
The walls of this tomb
contain stories of Tarsemissu and Shysimos, her husband's life.
The four canopic jars hold the insides of Tansemissu. The items
I chose for her after life are: Three pigs to eat. One duck also
to eat. A bowl and a spoon to eat from. One canoe for fishing
and traveling. One statue of a person to be a slave and one live
snake as a pet.
In her tomb she put two canisters
of sacred oil, her leopard throne, two shelves that stored her
sacred objects as a priestess, a boat to carry her to the afterlife
and a huyge sculpture of a cobra (the cobra is the symbol on
Isis's crown.) |

The Tomb of Mara Keleanvarapth by Natalie
|
Mara Keleanvarapth is buried in this chamber.
She was a wife to Kondred Kaleanvarapth, and had one son, who
was named Kaleded, after her great uncle. She and her husband
were wealthy farmers, and she sometimes went to the market, where
she was a market seller. She had a few relatives, but not so
many that you couldn't count them.
The Things In The Tomb
The scenes on the walls of the
tomb are of her heart being weighed against a feather, her asking
the gods for a safe journey to the afterlife, a curse guarded
by Anubis, and two more goddesses, Shu and Geb, guarding the
tomb itself. |
