The Hidden Tombs of Memphis: New Discoveries from The Time of Tutankhamun and Ramesses the Great - USA Thames And Hudson 1991 - 216 ill. (some col.) 26 cm - New Aspects of Antiquity .
The expedition is formed -- Memphis and its necropolis; Saqqara -- The tomb of Horemheb, regent of Tutankhamun -- The tomba of Tia and Tia: a royal monument of the Ramesside period -- Minor tombs in the Memphis necropolis -- Searching for the tomb of Maya -- Court, government, and daily life in the New Kingdom -- The lost tombs of Memphis.
"For Geoffrey Martin and his colleagues, the internationally acclaimed discovery of the tomb of Maya, Tutankhamun's treasurer, was the culmination of a painstaking ten-year search at Saqqara, the burial ground of Memphis, ancient capital of Egypt. Maya had been one of the most important men during the boy-king's short reign. Exploration of his tomb, and those of other important officials in the necropolis, has opened a new chapter in our understanding of Egyptian society more than 3,000 years ago." --P. [4] of cover.
