Source-derived summary

TT233 is the tomb of Saroy and Amenhotep located at Dra Abu El Naga in Egypt

The tomb contains much more textual information than images, and in comparison to other tombs, some of the text found within TT233 is found only within this tomb (Ockinga 2012).

The tomb was excavated by the Macquarie Theban Tombs project.

Editorial summary

Editorial reviewA concise reference frame for defining the subject, testing terminology and identifying the institution closest to the evidence. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—2012—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. The account is most persuasive where TT233, tomb and Theban can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as theban tomb. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 19, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q22919968. Authority coordinates are 25.733, 32.600. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2012.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
