The main private cementary in
the center of the Theban necropolis (25o44'N, 32o36'E).
The term Qurnaseems to be a derivation of of el-Qurn (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
