The Theban Tomb TT18 is located in Dra' Abu el-Naga', part of the Theban Necropolis, on the west bank of the Nile, opposite to Luxor. It is the burial place of the ancient Egyptian Baki (or perhaps Bak),[2] who was Chief Weigher of the Gold of Amun during the early Eighteenth Dynasty.
Baki's father was a scribe of counting of cattle of Queen Ahmose Nefertari. The hall of the tomb is decorated with scenes showing a banquet and offering brought before Baki and his family. Other scenes show Baki and his family fishing and fowling.[1]
The tomb contains some graffiti that links Psusennes II's royal name with his successor, Shoshenq I.
