Tomb of Rakhami-Ra, (Nakht-Rakhmi-Ra) is the private minister of King Thutmose III.
He obtained many high positions when he was allowed to establish a cemetery, such as those found in Luxor’s nobles’ tombs.
The cemetery consists of
A courtyard with an entrance in the middle leads to a gallery with an entrance in the wall facing the inside leading to a long hall that extended into the mountain’s rock a distance of more than 30 meters and is distinguished by its roof, which gradually rises as the hall extends into the hollow of the mountain, as the ceiling of this hall at its end rises to more than eight meters. The hall ends with a high cabin (niche, a skylight, a gap) carved into its northern wall. It is possible that this compartment contained a statue of Rachmirei alone or with his wife. Period. The tomb of Rakhmi-Ra is one of the tombs rich insights. It has scenes we are used to and scenes that began to appear during that period.
The cemetery is also the scene of all the manifestations of civilization and the prosperity Egypt reached during the reign of the greatest ancient Egyptian king, King Thutmose III, who recorded many familiar scenes and unique views on its walls. It is noted that most of Rakhmire’s names were removed, perhaps during the reign of Akhenaten, and their work was limited to erasing the name of Amon and some other deities.
The cemetery begins with an open courtyard where the entrance to the cemetery is located.
Entrance to the cemetery.
Showroom.
Longitudinal hall “It is assumed that at the end of this sauce, there will be a well leading to the burial chamber, but here we did not find any burial wells.
Entering the exhibit hall, to the left of the interior, a scene representing the Hall of Justice is seen, which represents the official place of Minister Rakhmaira, in which he performs his work in adjudicating people’s issues and resolving their disputes, for it is the hall in which the minister sits to carry out his duties. The Hall of Justice was in the form of a large entourage resting on pillars With palm crowns, their legs were decorated with the cartouches of King Thutmose III and the name of Rakhmire, and what is striking in the centre of this hall are four mats furnished directly in front of the minister (whose image was smashed). Each of us disobeyed, and there are also four rows of employees who attend the minister’s sessions twenty in two rows on each side. We also see those with grievances approaching the middle hall to hear their sayings, and outside the hall, some people who accept the land out of respect for Minister Rakhmerre are seen. Next to that, and on the same wall, is a scene representing some of the goods and bounties of Upper Egypt, including gold, silver, necklaces, and rifles of various shapes and sizes, and livestock, including small and large ones, in front of the cemetery’s owner, Minister Rakhmerie.
There are remnants of a text on the western wall that records Rakhmire’s career, the minister’s duties, and the deeds and duties towards the people. The tomb of Rakhmaira is also distinguished by the famous scene recorded on the wall facing inwards on the left, which represents the giving of gifts and tributes from representatives of foreign countries to Minister Rakhmire, the presenters of gifts are seen in five rows.
The first row: represents the people of Punt (present-day Somalia). They supply their country’s products of incense, gold, ivory, ostrich feathers, leopard skin, necklaces, and various live animals, including monkeys, ibex and leopard.
The second row: the people of the “craft and the islands in the great green sea”, perhaps a reference to Crete and the islands of Bahrain. They carry the products of these countries of various shapes, sizes, objects and types. We see them placed in front of the writer who records them.
The third row: The people of Nubia brought gifts, and we see them carrying feathers, ostrich eggs, ebony, an elephant, and skins, in addition to live animals such as leopards, monkeys, a giraffe, a group of cows and a group of hunting dogs.
Fourth row: They brought a carriage, horses, a bear, an elephant, and some utensils of different shapes and types.
Fifth grade: Perhaps you refer to some of the prisoners who were hostages to ensure the proper functioning of the tribes in the oppressed countries, including the children of the princes of the south and the children of the princes of the north “to fill them with factories and to be slaves in the loss of Ammon.” Then, on the same wall is a broken scene that represents Rakhmirei as a vizier in front of Thutmose III and Quraina.
By moving to the other half of the exhibition hall, he sees the scenes recorded to the right of the interior directly, and we see Rakhmire (erased) as he oversees the proceeds of taxes in the delta consisting of oxen, cows and goats, in addition to gold and honey. This is followed by Rakhmaira (erased), who supervises the factories of the Amun Temple, especially the statues. We see many royal statues, including the standing, the seated, the kneeling, and some of the carvings in the form of this Sphinx and a group of vessels, incense burners, tiles and necklaces of various forms besides a wooden bed. Then, on the same wall, Rakhemeri (erased) oversees the weighting and carrying of grains and the bringing of different animals. Some peasants harvest fields of wheat and flax with their machetes, as well as a scene of a group of cows ploughing the land. Then we go now to the narrow wall and see some of the Rakhmaira family, who most probably hope to remain with him in the other world as they were near him in the first world. We now head to the wall facing inwards on the right and see a view of a wine press and workers mashing grapes with their feet in large quantities, as well as views of birds and fish, and then scenes of bringing wild animals such as goats, oxen, cheetahs, as well as hunting dogs. Then we follow the scene where we see the remains of the hunting scene in the desert with its animals and some birds over Lake Barada.
It seems clear in the tomb of Rakhmire that the walls of the occasional hall were not sufficient for all the worldly scenes that the minister wanted to record in his tomb, so he ordered that they be added in the long hall, and we see them on the western wall. Perhaps many of these worldly scenes were among the reasons for the gradual rise of the ceiling of this long hall to gain More spaces to record on. We now enter the long hall. On the wall to the left of the interior, we see a scene that represents Rakhmirei sitting and behind his followers as he supervises the owners of the various crafts and industries of the temple. In advance of his production for Minister Rakhmire. This is followed by the funeral scenes and the sacred journey to Abydos, depicted in detail. Then we see Rakhmire’s wife and family members as they pay him to his last residence, and then there is a large sacrificial table in front of Rakhmure and his mother.
If the viewer follows the scenes on the wall to the right of the interior to the long hall, then we see Ibn Rakhmire with relatives presenting flowers to Rakhmure, and we also see the minister and his followers receiving a group of three rows of employees. This is followed by the daughters of Rakhmire, who present him and his wife with chains. There is a scene representing a female concert in which some girls play parchment, guitar and the “fugitive”. Some scenes that represent religious rituals presented to some statues by priests and finally a scene that represents a boat in the surrounding lake With trees, and the significance here may be that Rakhmure hopes that in the other world he will have a garden in the middle of a lake with a boat inside which he can take a stroll in the other world. At the end of this wall, some scenes represent members of the Rakhmire family as they offer him offerings. The narrow wall facing the inside is distinguished by the presence of a high niche and with double views representing Rakhmire kneeling in front of the god of the dead Osiris and one of the deities.
