Nakht's pleasant and handsomely appointed tomb in the Theban necropolis (TT 52) contains a famous depiction of a blind harp-player and scenes of the hunt. It also features a repertory of agricultural, horticultural and viticultural activities. In Nakht's vineyard the workers pick the grapes and tread them, holding on to ropes to preserve their balance and counteract the effects of the vapours rising from the grape juice, then filling jars with the fermenting liquor from a tap in the cask in which they are treading.--Who's Who in Ancient Egypt, Routledge, Credo Reference Database. Note: Valley of the Kings - Narrow gorge, Upper Egypt, near the ancient city of Thebes. It is the burial site of nearly all of the kings (pharaohs) of the 18th-20th dynasties (1539-1075 BC) ... The valley is part of a UNESCO World Heritage site (designated 1979) centred on Thebes.--Britannica Concise Encyclopedia, Credo Reference Database. Note: Located in the Theban Necropolis, near Luxor, the Tombs of the Nobles are the burial places of some of the powerful courtiers and persons of the ancient city.--Wikipedia. |
