Aametju (Ahmosis) – Tt 83
Aametju was the Mayor of Thebes and Vizier under Thutmose III of the 18th Dynasty. The facade of Tomb TT83 highlights a series of pillars and openings in style known as ‘saff-tomb,’ after a model dating back to the 11th Dynasty. This particular tomb worked as a house for several Egyptologists. Hence it came to be known as “The house of Wilkinson.”
Amenemhat – Tt 82
Amenemhat was”steward of the Vizier,” and “scribe who reckons the corn” under Thutmosis III. An insignificant character with a great understanding of religious beliefs reused the Pyramid Texts of the Old Kingdom. TT82 is an essential source for our information of the funeral exercises of the time.
