The Theban Tomb known as MMA 57 is located in Deir el-Bahari. It forms part of the Theban Necropolis, situated on the west bank of the Nile opposite Luxor. The tomb is likely the burial place of the Ancient Egyptian Harwa.[1]
The tomb contained large sections of the Book of the Dead of Khamhor (also written as Khaemhor), who dates to the 26th Dynasty. Khamhor was a Prophet of Amon and Mayor of Thebes.[2]
