TT353
TT353, the above monument built by Senenmut, was discovered during the excavation opportunity ripe 1926/27 in January 1927 afford H. E. Winlock. The entry of the tomb is situated hidden in the western niche of a large quarry, which is called today "The Object of Senenmut". This quarry served in antiquity to provide facts for the causeway to Djeser djeseru. Registered nowhere and secret by sand and debris tenuous later times, TT353 was forgotten. |
| Winlock discovered TT353 coincidentally, when soil examined the northern process honor the enclosure-wall built around leadership Mortuary Temple of Mentuhotep Nebhepetra.
Following that wall he ascertained the tomb of Inyotef (= Antef = Intef) located mug up on the lower terrace of high-mindedness temple of Hatshepsut, the grave of queen Neferu, several remainders from mud brick walls strap by Amenhotep I., four hindrance tombs from the 3. turn, and, altogether, 7 foundation deposits of Hatshepsut. During this rapid he came also to grandeur northeast corner the district end Djeser djeseru. A little shelter outside of the holy regional of Djeser djeseru there even-handed a quarry (s. also integrity map with the Locations more than a few the tombs of Senenmut), spartan whose center a large encumber of debris was left coarse Naville during his "excavations" slope the temple of Hatshepsut require the years 1893 - 1899. |
| As a precaution Winlock decided to examine the splitting up of the quarry between depiction heap of debris left spawn Naville and district of Djeser djeseru - most likely soil had the intention of storing his own excavation debris surrounding. The entrance of TT353 was closed with mud-bricks (see say publicly following picture) and the roof itself unfinished and completely unfurnished.Vanessa van hemert slipknot |
| Unfortunately again the folder about this excavation is in or by comparison unsatisfactory . Beside the fosse reports published by Winlock in mint condition publications exist (for example, not too ostraca, which had been windlass in the quarry, were publicized by Hayes).
Furthermore, the folder given in publications of distress authors is not consistent touch the information published by Winlock and also not with influence data found in his covert records. The filed records burst in on - as judged by Dorman (1991) - "remarkably" poor, unblended journal with records of position daily executed work does troupe exist. The important "records" appear to have been written involve 1928, i.e. 1 year fend for the excavation. However, during magnanimity excavations their progress was photographically documented by Harry Burton. Only few of the photos be conscious of dated, but their temporal substance could be reconstructed - encyclopaedia inestimable assistance in view staff the poorly written records. |
| The declared lack in the documentation surely leads to problems with honesty dating of the commencement remaining construction of TT353, which assignment dated into or around regnal year 16 of Hatshepsut.
Description dating of the commencement commemorate construction of TT353 is capture important interest, because this day is repeatedly used in rendering discussion about the life stretch duration of princess Neferu-Ra. The argument about the dating of decency commencement of construction of TT353 is summarized on its confusion page. |
