Theban Tomb 69 (TT 69) is located in Sheikh Abd el-Qurna, part of the Theban Necropolis, on the west bank of the Nile, opposite Luxor.[1] It is the burial place of the ancient Egyptian official named Menna, whose titles included ‘Overseer of Fields of Amun’, and ‘Overseer of Fields of the Lord of the Two Lands’.[2] Traditionally, TT 69 has been dated to the reign of Thutmosis IV.[3] However, recent art historical studies of artistic style suggest the majority of the tomb was decorated during the reign of Amenhotep III.[4]
