 | | purpose of the Theban Tombs Publication Project is to document the history, architecture, decorations, and contents of two rock-cut noblemen's tombs located at the top of the hill of Sheikh abd el-Gurna in Western Thebes, Egypt. |
 | | The architecture of Rây's tomb is unique among all Theban private tombs, since its facade--with its system of colonnades, ramps, and terraces--is actually executed in the style of a royal terrace temple, the most famous example of which is the picturesque temple of Queen Hatshepsut and that of Thutmose III at Deir |
 | | its first two field seasons, 1990 and 1991, the Theban Tombs Publication Project was conducted under the aegis of the Serapis Research Institute, Chicago, while it received significant logistical and organizational support in the field from The Oriental Institute Epigraphic Survey at Chicago House, Luxor (Egypt). |
