Qubbet El-Hawa la tomba rupestre di Ishemai

Tomb n. 98, Ishemai, the sealer of the king of Lower Egypt, located in Qubbet el-Hawa and brought to light by Holled Smith at the end of the nineteenth century, is mentioned in Egyptologist excavation reports by the likes of Edel, Wilbourn, Budge and Bouriant. It is only cited, because no scholar has translated the text connected to the titles and funerary formulas written on the four paintings - two parietals and two more on separate pillars - representing the deceased. Authors' work, therefore, has been to undertake the first detailed interpretation of written texts in tomb 98 and present it with due respect for the ancient owner and the eminent Egyptologists who first shed light on these sacred, eternal houses.
