Tomb of Amenemhab

 Decorated pillars in the tomb of Amenemhab, TT 85.  Located on the West Bank of Luxor, this tomb has beautiful paintings on the walls and ceiling. Like the other "lost tombs," TT 85 has suffered from deterioration over the years, which is why it is so important to conserve tombs like this. (Photo: Sandro Vannini)
