Dra Abu el-Naga -
AN B tomb of Amenhotep I- XVIIIthDynasty
The tomb was discovered
before 1907. For
Howard Carter, tomb AN B had held a double
burial of Amenhotep I and his mother , Ahmes-Nefertari. The well (E) appears to
have been cut as an after-thought at the time the burial chamber (J) was extended.
The changes may reflect the expansion of a queen's tomb - that of
Amose-Nefertari - to receive the reburial of a king - her son, Amenhotep I. In
the tomb were founded fragments of stone vessels with inscriptions of
Apophis, his doughter, princess Heret, king
Ahmose I, Ahmes-Nefertari and
Amenhotep I.
