 | | The tomb of Ahmose dates to the reign of King Tuthmosis III, while that of Rây was built and decorated under the reign of King Amenhotep II. |
 | | The tomb of Rây is unique among all private tombs in Thebes, since with its system of colonnades, terraces, and inter-connecting ramps, it emulates the style of a royal terrace-temple of the period, such as the temples of Hatshepsut and Tuthmosis III at Deir el-Bahari and the mortuary temple of Tuthmosis III at Gurna. |
 | | Rây was an important individual who held high priestly titles in at least five temples and cults in Western Thebes, including: the mortuary temple of Tuthmosis III, the Eighteenth Dynasty Temple at Medinet Habu, Tuthmosis III's temple at Deir el-Bahari, and the mortuary temple of Amenhotep I and Ahmose-Nefertari. |
