Sheikh Abd elQurna ( Western Thebes )
The main private cementary in the center of the Theban necropolis (25o44'N, 32o36'E). The term Qurna seems to be a derivation of of elQurn (the peak), which may refer to the mountain that is
482 meters above sea level, overlooking the Theban necropolis. Qurna is the central part of the New Kingdom private necropolis in Thebes. It consists of the hill proper and the plain east of it,
which is defined as the area southwest of Khokha and north of the mortuary temple of Ramesses II (the Ramesseum). In the hillside and the plain, there are far more then 150 decorated tombs,
more than half of which date to the XVIIIth dynasty, other dated XIXth and early XXth dynasty or to the Saite period (XXVI Dynasty). The most important tombs are: TT100 Rekhmire, TT96
Sennefer, TT52 Nakht, TT69 Menna, TT55 Ramose, and other.
