TT343, the Tomb of Benia aka Pahekamen (or Paheqamen)

TT343, the Tomb of Benia aka Pahekamen (or Paheqamen)



Most certainly in the time of Amenophis III, the tomb must have been robbed already. Also from this time period, some red outline drawings have been added to the walls, mostly women, but occasionally of men. These pictures must have been made by the people of the first intrusive burials, by someone who was obviously married and had need for the portrayal of a woman for his resurrection rites, as the wives usually held the important role, as Isis was to Osiris, in the rebirth of the tomb owner.
One of these images can be seen under Benia's seat on the north section of the east wall of the transverse room.
