TT28
ancient Egyptian tomb
The Theban Tomb TT28 is located in El-Assasif. It forms part of the Theban Necropolis, situated on the west bank of the Nile opposite Luxor. The tomb is the burial place of the ancient Egyptian official, Hori.
Hori was an officer of the estate of Amun during the Ramesside Period.
In November 2018, an Egyptian archaeological excavation team uncovered the original entrance of the tomb; in addition to another tomb, that of Thaw-Rakht-If. Two huge wooden anthropoid sarcophagi were found, identified as Padiset and Nesmutamu; they are attributed to another occupant of the tomb of a later period and not Hori. The mission uncovered two wooden statues of the deceased, five painted wooden funerary masks, and a collection of ushabti figurines made of faience, wood, burnt clay, along with a papyrus containing Chapter 125 of the Book of the Dead. A cache of mummies were also found in the tomb. The tomb wall was decorated and included scenes of the owner's wife, Kharousekhmet-Nefret, singer of Amun-Re.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “TT28” as ancient Egyptian tomb. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as ancient Egyptian tomb. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 26, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q3512419. Authority coordinates are 25.733, 32.600. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2018.
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.
